GP & Clinician Appointments - Book as you need

Need to speak to a GP or clinician about a one-off medical concern? Our Book As You Need service is designed for those times when you require expert advice or care without committing to a long-term plan.

Private GP Wigan

At Ready Health, we understand that health issues don’t always come with notice — and when you need to speak to a clinician, you shouldn’t have to wait. That’s why we offer Book As You Need appointments, giving you control over when and how long you speak with a GP or clinician.

Choose from:

15-minute Express appointments – great for quick questions or straightforward issues
30-minute Standard appointments – perfect for more detailed concerns or multiple symptoms
60-minute Extended appointments – ideal for complex or long-standing health matters

Our private GP appointments are available daily for a wide range of medical concerns — whether you’re seeking fast physical exams, need a second opinion, or simply don’t want to wait weeks to see an NHS doctor.

Private GP Appointments

All appointments take place at our state-of-the-art health hub in Standish, on the outskirts of Wigan. You’ll receive respectful, confidential care from experienced clinicians in a welcoming, professional environment. Ready Health is here so you can feel well without the wait.

If you prefer, telephone and video consultations are also available.

No, not at all. Unlike some private healthcare providers, we offer both "Book As You Need" appointments and membership options — giving you complete flexibility.

If you find yourself visiting us regularly or enjoy the experience at Ready Health, it may be worth exploring our membership plans, which could offer better value for your ongoing care. Just ask our team for more information.

No referral is needed. Just like visiting your NHS GP, you can book directly with one of our private practitioners — no paperwork or prior approval required.

Simply choose a time that works for you and attend your appointment in a discreet, welcoming environment. While private GP appointments are self-funded, many patients find the speed, convenience, and peace of mind well worth it — especially when NHS wait times are long.

After your consultation, you'll receive a summary of your appointment, which you can share with other healthcare providers if needed, ensuring continuity of care.

No, we don’t have direct access to your NHS records. However, if you use the MyGP or NHS App, you can easily share relevant medical information with us. This allows our clinicians to review your history and better support any ongoing or complex health concerns you may have.

Yes. If we diagnose a condition or prescribe medication during your appointment, we’ll share a summary with your NHS GP (with your consent). This ensures your medical records are kept up to date, which is especially important in the event you ever need emergency care — so that healthcare providers have access to your full medical history.
