Private Services

We have grown our private service offering considerably over the past few years and it has helped patients receive prompt and effective treatment they would have otherwise struggled to receive.  Unsurprisingly, we are getting busier with these and other services and in most cases an appointment is required. We are in the process of adding new services, which will be added to our offering in the months to come.

Weight Management Clinic

Our private weight management service offers medically supervised treatment mainly using Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) — a prescription-only injection designed to support sustainable weight loss and long-term weight maintenance. We also use Wegovy (semaglutaide) when appropriate. The service is available to adults with a BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with a weight-related condition. Treatment is combined with professional dietary, lifestyle, and behavioural support to promote lasting results. These medications work by improving blood sugar control and reducing appetite, helping clients achieve healthier weight goals through safe, evidence-based care

Ear Infection Service

Ear Examination Close-up

Our private ear infection service offers rapid assessment and treatment for otitis externa (outer ear infection). For a non-refundable £10 consultation, our pharmacist will examine your ears and determine the best course of care. If suitable, a generic combined antibiotic and steroid ear spray formerly known as (Otomize®) may be recommended for an additional £10. This clinically approved treatment helps reduce pain, swelling, and infection quickly and allows us to treat patients who don't qualify for our NHS Pharmacy First service because they are too old. The service is delivered by our qualified pharmacist, ensuring prompt, safe and effective management of uncomplicated otitis externa.

Vitamin B12 Injection Service

Boost your energy and wellbeing with our private Vitamin B12 injection service. Designed for adults, including vegetarians, vegans, and those with B12 deficiencies or absorption challenges, our Hydroxocobalamin injections help support metabolism, general health, and vitality. Administered safely under a professional PGD, we assess eligibility, provide guidance, and ensure a personalised approach. Whether topping up your B12 levels or addressing deficiency, our service offers a convenient, effective way to maintain optimal health.  The service costs £29 per injection and is repeated if needed and appropriate every 2-3 months.
