Private GP Home Visits

Our highly experienced GP, Dr Jonathan Snell, will come to you for your consultation in the comfort of your own home. Private prescriptions, sick notes and private referrals to specialist services are all included. Following your appointment, you will also receive a detailed summary of your consultation and a personal management plan, sent to you within two working days. Our appointments are available Monday to Friday except Bank Holidays.

 Our Services

  • We recommend this longer appointment for all new patients. At your first appointment, the doctor will cover your medical history, provide a comprehensive new patient review, carry out a physical examination and allow enough time to discuss your current issues. Our 1 hour appointment is also the best option if you have a complex health issue or several concerns.

    £240

  • A shorter visit can be a great option for follow up appointments, or to discuss a single simple issue, for example, a urinary tract infection (UTI) or chest infection.

    £165

  • Telephone or Video Consultations with Dr Snell can be a quick and convenient way to access care from your home and we offer two appointment options.

    10 mins - £45

    20 mins - £90

    These are not available as a first appointment option for new patients.

  • Blood tests, urine tests and many other tests are also available during your home visit. The doctor will explain whether he recommends any investigations and why they would be helpful. Fees for tests are charged in addition to the cost of the GP Home Visit and the doctor can provide further information on a case-by-case basis at the time.

Areas we visit

Our home visits are available in selected areas of Poole (Canford Cliffs, Branksome, Lilliput, and Lower Parkstone), Bournemouth (Westbourne and Southbourne) and Christchurch* (Mudeford, Highcliffe, and Burton). We can also see residents in local care homes as well as visitors to the area.

Visits outside of these areas are available by prior arrangement, and will incur an additional charge: please call us for more information tailored to your situation.
