GP Home Visit in London

GP Home Visit in London – Service Details

Through its team of independent private GPs, Medelit provides a dedicated GP home visit service in London offering you and your family complete medical assistance in the comfort of your own home, hotel room or office. Our Doctors deliver the highest standards of primary care where and when it is most convenient for you — with no waiting rooms, no commute, and no waiting list.

A private GP home visit is appropriate when you need medical attention that is not an emergency but cannot reasonably wait for a standard NHS GP appointment. Common reasons to book a home GP in London include high or persistent fever, flu symptoms, chest or respiratory infections, gastrointestinal illness, urinary tract infections, skin conditions, ear and eye infections, blood pressure concerns, minor injuries, medication review, sick notes, and specialist referrals. For life-threatening emergencies, always call 999 or attend your nearest A&E.

If none of our Doctors currently covers your address, you can still receive medical assistance via an Online GP Video Consultation. This service allows you to discuss any health concern, request tests and prescriptions, or review existing results with one of our Doctors — ensuring you receive the care and guidance you need, wherever you are.

Trusted and Expert Doctors

Our Private GPs in London – Qualifications & Standards

Medelit was founded by Doctors and is run by Doctors. Active since 2009 and trusted by thousands of patients across London, our network brings together over 350 healthcare professionals operating across the United Kingdom and Italy. All GPs available on our platform are individually vetted and must meet the following standards before joining:

• Fully registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) — you can verify your Doctor’s GMC number on the official GMC register at gmcuk.org
• Professionally indemnified — all our GPs carry full medical malpractice insurance
• Vetted through a rigorous selection process — including a full background check, reference check, and a face-to-face interview with our managing Doctors
• Selected for their experience and qualifications — our GPs also work within or in collaboration with the most important clinics and hospitals in London, enabling coordinated referrals and continuity of care

Following each visit, your GP will provide a written consultation report detailing findings, diagnosis, and any prescriptions or referral letters issued. A VAT invoice is issued after every appointment — useful for private health insurance claims or personal medical records.

When to Call a Private GP at Home in London

The Medelit private GP home visit service is designed for non-emergency situations that require prompt medical assessment. It is an alternative to NHS 111, walk-in centres, or long waits for an NHS GP appointment — not a replacement for 999 or A&E in emergencies. Our Doctors attend for:

• High or persistent fever in adults, children and elderly patients
• Flu and flu-like symptoms: fever, chills, muscle aches, fatigue, night sweats
• Cough, bronchitis, laryngitis, mild breathlessness, chest infections
• Sore throat, pharyngitis, tonsillitis
• Persistent cold symptoms and upper respiratory tract infections
• High or low blood pressure, dizziness, palpitations
• Headache and migraine, acute or recurring
• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, acute gastrointestinal illness
• Abdominal pain (non-emergency)
• Back pain, sciatica, neck pain, muscle and joint pain, minor injuries
• Allergic reactions (non-severe): rashes, hives, hay fever, itching
• Urinary tract infections: cystitis, burning, urinary urgency
• Skin infections, wounds, abrasions, suture removal
• Conjunctivitis and eye irritations
• Ear infections (otitis), sinusitis, ear pain
• Fatigue, general malaise without apparent cause
• Prescription and medication review, including urgent repeat prescriptions
• Blood test requests and diagnostic referrals with written prescription
• Sick notes and medical certificates (private, not NHS)
• Specialist referral letters to London consultants and hospitals

For life-threatening emergencies — severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, stroke symptoms, major trauma, or loss of consciousness — always call 999 immediately or go to your nearest A&E.
