Same day private GP appointments online
Speak to a private GP today by secure video or telephone, subject to availability. Book online in a couple of minutes, choose a time from the live diary, and be seen from home, work or wherever you happen to be.
What same day means here
Plenty of clinics promise you will always be seen the same day. We would rather be straight with you. Most days we can offer a same day appointment, but it always depends on availability on the day.
Our diary is live, so when you book online you see what is genuinely free today, including evening slots on weekdays and appointments on Sundays. If today is fully booked, you see the next available time instead of a promise nobody checked. If you would rather speak to someone first, our telephone line is available 24 hours a day on 020 8882 8088.
The appointment itself is a proper consultation by secure video or telephone, not a rushed call. You can read more about how our online private GP consultations work. This is private healthcare and it works alongside your NHS GP, it does not replace them.
What same day GP care can help with
Everyday illness
Coughs, colds, sore throats, sinus and urinary symptoms, and the problems that will not wait quietly for a routine appointment.
Skin problems
Rashes, bites, infections and flare ups. You can share photographs securely before the appointment so the GP can see what you see.
Children and family
Advice for a poorly child, with clear guidance on what to watch for and when to seek urgent help.
Mental health and stress
Low mood, anxiety and stress. A proper conversation, with time to talk and a clear plan for what happens next.
Results and reports
A review of blood tests, scans or letters you already have, with a considered explanation of what they actually mean.
Work and travel
Advice before you travel, workplace health queries, and the niggles that are getting in the way of your week.
When not to wait for an appointment
Some symptoms should not wait for any GP appointment, ours included. Call 999 or go to A&E now if you or someone with you has any of the following.
- Severe chest pain or pressure, or sudden difficulty breathing.
- Signs of a stroke, such as a drooping face, slurred speech, or weakness in an arm or leg.
- Heavy bleeding that will not stop.
- A sudden, severe headache unlike anything before.
- A seizure, or a child who is unusually drowsy, floppy or hard to wake.
If it is urgent but not life threatening, NHS 111 can direct you, day or night. And if you book with us and the GP believes you need emergency or face to face care, they will say so plainly and direct you to the right service.
Our own in person services are paused during our sabbatical period and are expected to resume from 24 August 2026. Until then, where an examination is needed the GP will direct you to an appropriate face to face service.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I be seen?
Often the same day, subject to availability. Our diary is live, so when you book online you see exactly what is free today. If today is fully booked you are shown the next available time rather than a vague promise. We would rather be straight with you than promise a same day appointment we cannot deliver.
Can I be seen in person?
Not at the moment. Clinique Alpa is operating as a virtual first consultation service during our sabbatical period, and in person services are expected to resume from 24 August 2026. If your problem needs an examination, the GP will say so plainly and direct you to an appropriate service.
Can the GP prescribe medication during an online appointment?
If medication is one of the appropriate options, your GP will discuss this during the consultation and explain the safest next steps. We do not guarantee prescriptions and we do not provide medicines on demand.
Can I get a fit note or a referral letter the same day?
Fit notes, medical letters and referral letters can be issued where clinically appropriate after assessment, and where they are agreed during a same day appointment they usually follow by email promptly. They are never guaranteed. Fees are on our appointments and fees page.
Do I need to be registered with the clinic to book?
No. Anyone in the UK can book. This is private healthcare and it does not replace your NHS GP. With your consent we send a short summary of the consultation to your NHS GP so your records stay joined up.
What do I need for the appointment?
A phone, tablet or computer with a camera for video, or just a phone for a telephone consultation, and a quiet private space. Have a list of any medicines you take to hand, and any recent test results or letters if you have them.
What if my problem is an emergency?
Call 999 now rather than booking. Severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke and heavy bleeding are emergencies. If it is urgent but not life threatening, NHS 111 can direct you day or night. If something urgent emerges during a consultation, the GP will send you straight to the right emergency service.
