Why Employers Offer PRIVATE GP ACCESS to Staff
Why Employers Offer PRIVATE GP ACCESS to Staff
Sickness absence costs UK employers an estimated £554 per employee per year (CIPD). A significant proportion of this comes from conditions that respond well to early clinical intervention: musculoskeletal problems, respiratory illness, mental health difficulties, and infections that worsen because they are not properly treated early on.
Private GP access gives employees a route to clinical help they will actually use. Same-day appointments without the NHS wait mean health problems are addressed before they become serious enough to affect work.
The practical case for employers:
Reduced short-term sickness absence through earlier clinical intervention.
Faster access to fit notes and return-to-work documentation.
Better staff retention: health access is among the most valued employee benefits.
Consistent GP access for teams spread across multiple cities.
Private Medical Clinic 10-clinic network means that businesses with staff in Birmingham, London, Manchester, Newcastle, and elsewhere can offer the same standard of access to everyone.

What Employees GET FROM THEIR APPOINTMENT
What Employees GET FROM THEIR APPOINTMENT
A private GP appointment at Private Medical Clinic is a full clinical consultation. It is not a triage session or a brief telephone call. It is an unhurried appointment with a GMC-registered doctor who has the time to take a proper history, examine properly, and reach a clinical conclusion.
Employees attending a private GP appointment can expect:
- Prescriptions on the day. Where medication is clinically appropriate, our GPs prescribe private or NHS prescriptions depending on the employee’s situation.
- Referrals arranged at the consultation. Where a specialist is needed, our GPs arrange referrals to consultants, NHS or private, at the point of the appointment.
- Fit notes issued the same day. Where an employee needs a fit note or return-to-work documentation, this is produced at the appointment.
- Test requests. Where investigations are clinically indicated, our GPs arrange blood tests, imaging, and other investigations.
- Continuity of care. Where an employee attends more than once, their notes are held on file so each consultation builds on what came before.
Private GP Access and SICKNESS ABSENCE
Private GP Access and SICKNESS ABSENCE
Early clinical intervention is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce sickness absence. The two most common causes of long-term absence in UK workplaces are musculoskeletal conditions and mental health difficulties. Both respond well to early clinical management. Both are also the conditions with the longest NHS waiting times.
An employee who develops back pain, a soft tissue injury, or early signs of low mood can wait months for an NHS appointment. By the time they are seen, the condition may have deteriorated to the point where it affects their work. Private GP access breaks that cycle.
At Private Medical Clinic, employees can see a doctor the same day. If a physiotherapy, psychology, or specialist referral is needed, the GP makes the referral at the consultation. This shortens the path from symptom to treatment and reduces the duration of absence when it occurs.
Employers who provide private GP access typically report a measurable reduction in short-term sickness absence within the first year, alongside improvements in staff engagement.
Employee Private GP: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Employees book directly online or by phone, in the same way as any other Private Medical Clinic patient. Where a business account is set up, employees may have a booking reference or pre-authorisation code depending on the arrangement you have chosen. Booking takes around 60 seconds online.
No. We work with businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to large employers. There is no minimum headcount and no minimum spend. You can arrange private GP access for a single employee if that is what you need.
Employees can attend any of our 10 UK clinics. If an employee travels for work or relocates temporarily, they can book at whichever clinic is most convenient at the time.
A private GP appointment covers the full range of general practice: acute illness, ongoing condition management, prescriptions, referrals, skin conditions, mental health, travel health, women’s health, and more. There is no restricted list of approved conditions.
Yes. Most consultations can be conducted by telephone or video where clinically appropriate. Where a physical examination would be more clinically useful, our GP will advise attending in person. Employees can request their preferred format when booking.
Our standard employee service covers the employee. Appointments for dependants can be arranged separately at the standard consultation rate. Contact us if you would like to extend access to immediate family members as part of your arrangement.
Yes. We can set up monthly centralised invoicing so that appointment costs are billed to the employer rather than charged to the employee at the time of booking. Contact us to discuss your preferred arrangement.
Private GP access is a general health benefit: employees use it for any health matter, not specifically related to fitness for work. Occupational health is a formal clinical process resulting in a written report for HR use, assessing an employee’s fitness for their specific role. Private Medical Clinic offers both services and they can be used independently or together.
Same-day appointments are available at most clinics. Employees can typically book and be seen the same day or the following day, without waiting weeks as they would on the NHS.
Yes. Where an employee is unwell and requires a fit note, this is issued at the consultation. Our GMC-registered GPs issue NHS-compliant fit notes.
The GP arranges the referral at the consultation, either to an NHS service or a private consultant depending on the employee’s preference and clinical need. The referral letter and clinical information are prepared the same day.
Telephone and video consultations are available to employees at any location. For employees in areas close to our 10 clinics, in-person appointments are available. Employers with remote workers can still offer GP access through telephone or video consultations.
