IPSA Medical offers standard surgery consultations that last for up to 30 minutes. This extended appointment time allows for your skilled clinician to offer superior medical care, with more than enough time for you to talk through your medical concerns.
Extended opening hours can support your busy life; including evening, weekend, same-day and late-night appointments.
If you are unable to attend your surgery, over-the-phone consultations are also on offer; sometimes, however, face-to-face consultations might be required for a full diagnosis.
Appointments are available for those clients who are holidaying in the area, who might be looking for a second opinion, or for those who are looking for a more urgent appointment than they can get with their current NHS GP. Our policy is that you will always see the same doctor, as we believe this creates a more comfortable experience for you, as your clinician will be aware of your specific medical needs and your medical history.
What happens if I need to cancel my medical appointment?
To avoid missed appointment fees, we ask that you inform the clinic a minimum of four hours before your appointment time if you cannot make your appointment. For the home visit service, this incurs a 50% charge of the fee. We appreciate how events can sometimes make it impossible for you to attend your booked appointments, and in those instances, the fees are charged at our discretion.
Home visits
We offer a home visit service for clients living within a 15-mile radius of the IPSA clinic. Home visits are arranged at the clinic’s discretion.
Why should I choose IPSA Medical?
Our care is neither target-driven nor finance-driven. We focus on client-centred care. IPSA Medical is subject to the CQC’s (Care Quality Commission’s) rigorous scrutiny and licensing processes. Extended opening hours are offered, and combined with our weekend opening policy, we provide prompt, convenient and immediate access and always operate with the highest standards of care.
The clinic’s specialities
The clinic regularly handles minor accidents/emergencies, minor surgical procedures, and deals with family planning, dermatology, gynaecology and paediatrics, as well as seeing general practice patients.
There is a policy of total confidentiality. With conducive, clean and comfortable clinics, and our standard client-centred consultations of up to 30 minutes, our highly skilled physicians have the time to properly understand and discuss your health concerns with you.
Referrals to private specialists
After having your consultation, if your clinician determines you would benefit from a specialist referral, he/she will then direct you, because we have good knowledge of and access to a large network of private consultants.
If you require further tests, IPSA Medical has direct connections into hospitals where further investigations (e.g. X-rays, colonoscopies, MRIs, endoscopies and other kinds of medical imaging) can be carried out.
Will you work with my current NHS GP?
We provide a totally confidential service. If you do wish for your clinician to liaise with your NHS GP and you give your full consent for this, then we will work with your NHS GP.
