At Peninsula Private Medical, we believe seeing a GP should be simple, personal and stress-free without long waits, complex systems, or rushed consultations.
While we’re proud to offer specialist services such as menopause support, skin and mole checks, and comprehensive health assessments, we’re also here for the everyday health concerns that matter most.
What We Mean by “Routine GP Appointments”
A routine appointment gives you the opportunity to speak to one of our experienced GPs about any general health issue or concern. It’s the same type of consultation you would expect from your NHS GP but without the waiting time or pressure to fit everything into a few short minutes.
Common reasons people book a routine GP appointment include:
Ongoing or new symptoms they’d like to discuss
Prescription reviews or medication advice
Blood pressure, thyroid, or cholesterol checks
Low mood, stress, or sleep problems
Digestive or skin issues
Minor infections or recurring illnesses
General health worries or “just not feeling right”
Our GPs take the time to listen, explain, and plan next steps with you. If needed, we can arrange investigations or blood tests quickly, and refer you for imaging or specialist review when appropriate.
Why Choose a Private GP Appointment?
More people are turning to private GP services for reassurance, convenience and continuity.
At Peninsula, we aim to complement NHS care — not replace it — by offering:
✅ Longer appointment times (typically 30 minutes)
✅ Choice of face-to-face or phone consultations
✅ Quick access without long waits
✅ Continuity with the same doctor where possible
✅ Local, friendly, and discreet service
Conveniently Located for Mid Devon and Somerset
Our clinic at No.1 Waterloo Court, Uffculme is just one minute from Junction 27 of the M5, with free on-site parking and full disabled access.
Whether you need a one-off consultation or regular ongoing care, we’re here to make healthcare work around you.
