Yes — for assessment, for ruling out things that are treatable, and for practical management. Not for a cure, because there is not one.
The most useful thing a consultation does is check what else could be causing it. Persistent fatigue after COVID is commonly attributed entirely to long COVID when something treatable is contributing: anaemia, an underactive thyroid, low B12 or vitamin D, coeliac disease, diabetes, sleep apnoea or depression. Those are a blood test and a conversation away, and finding one changes everything.
What we can do: arrange that work-up, help with specific symptoms, discuss pacing, and support fit notes and workplace adjustments — which for many people matter more than any medication.
Pacing deserves particular mention. Where there is post-exertional malaise — symptoms worsening a day or two after activity — pushing through makes people worse, and graded exercise on that pattern is no longer recommended.
What we will not do is sell you unproven treatments. There is a market in expensive infusions, supplements and "detox" protocols for long COVID with no evidence behind any of it, and people who are exhausted and desperate are exactly who it targets.
Chest pain, severe breathlessness or fainting need urgent assessment rather than being assumed to be long COVID.

Same-day access is usually available, from 6am to 10pm, seven days a week. You choose a time that suits you rather than waiting on hold at 8am.
Yes. Care is led personally by Dr Mohammad Khan, so you are not passed between clinicians. Continuity is the point of a small practice: someone who knows your history and is listening attentively rather than working through a checklist.
Yes, with your consent. We can access your Summary Care Record during the consultation, so your current medications, allergies and significant history are in the room. That means fewer questions you have already answered elsewhere, and safer prescribing.
No. We are not here to replace GPs, only to support them. Your NHS practice remains responsible for your ongoing care, and with your consent we write to them after the consultation. We are useful when you need to be seen sooner, or want more time than a standard appointment allows.
Twenty unhurried minutes and a comprehensive assessment. A written treatment plan is included, along with any prescription, sick note or referral letter arising from the consultation, at no extra charge.
£40 for 20 minutes, self-pay. Membership is optional and never required. Priced for fairness, because we are not here to charge extortionate amounts for access to a doctor.
It means the diagnosis can usually be made from your history and photographs, and that treatment can be arranged safely without examining you. Where a condition is not marked treatable online, it is because examination is the diagnosis — listening to a chest, feeling an abdomen, examining an ear or a joint — or because a procedure or device is needed.
Yes, where there is a genuine bacterial infection — cellulitis, impetigo, bacterial urine infections, confirmed strep throat. We will also frequently tell you that you do not need one. Most sore throats, coughs, colds and earaches are viral, and an antibiotic gives you the side effects with none of the benefit.
If your problem turns out to be genuinely outside what we can do remotely, the doctor will tell you straight away, point you to the right service, and refund your fee in full. We would rather do that than fill twenty minutes to justify the charge.
Call 999 or go to A&E — do not book an online appointment and do not wait for a reply to an email. For urgent problems that are not emergencies, NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, online or by phone, and can direct you to the right service.
