Deeside sits on the border in every sense — Welsh administratively, tied to Chester economically, and served by hospitals on both sides of it. For healthcare that produces a specific kind of confusion about who is responsible for what.
A 20-minute consultation with a GMC-registered GP costs £40, wherever you are, from 6am to 10pm every day of the week. Sick notes, referral letters and written summaries are included.
The blood collection point we use most often is at Broughton, which is in Deeside rather than a drive away — unusually convenient for this area.
Deeside falls under Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, but geography pulls the other way. The Countess of Chester is around eight miles from Connah's Quay; Wrexham Maelor is roughly twelve. A significant number of Flintshire residents are treated in England, and cross-border flow between NHS Wales and NHS England is a long-standing feature of care here rather than an exception.
In practice that means referral routes are genuinely confusing. Which system you end up in can depend on your GP practice, the specialty, and sometimes on which side of a street you live. Getting a referral letter addressed correctly first time is worth more here than almost anywhere else we cover.
Prescriptions are free in Wales and have been since 2007. It is worth being direct about what that means for private care: a private prescription will never save you money in Flintshire, because the NHS one costs nothing. What you are paying us for is access and speed — being seen this week rather than in several — and not a cheaper medicine. If your NHS practice can prescribe what you need in a reasonable timeframe, that is the better route and we will tell you so.
Deeside is a manufacturing area of real scale — aerospace at Broughton, automotive and steel along the estuary, and the Deeside Industrial Park. Shift patterns dominate the working population, and the health consequences follow: poor sleep, irregular meals, and blood pressure and weight that nobody has measured in years.
Appointments at 6am and after 8pm are the whole point of this service in an area like this. A worker coming off nights has almost no chance of a conventional daytime GP appointment without losing sleep or pay.
Industrial employment also brings occupational health questions — fitness for a specific role, adjustments after injury, hearing and respiratory concerns — and the documentation that goes with them.
For anyone straddling the border, results and referrals need coordinating between two systems. A written summary that can be handed to either is a practical part of what a consultation produces here.

For an emergency, none of that is your problem — call 999 and let the ambulance service take you to the right place.
You are entitled to NHS care in Welsh. If you would prefer your consultation in Welsh, tell us when booking so we can confirm availability beforehand.
If a consultation needs a blood test or a scan, we request it electronically and you attend a partner clinic nearby. Results come back to Dr Khan, who explains them to you.

No, and it never will be.
NHS prescriptions are free in Wales. If you are registered with a Welsh practice, the NHS route costs nothing — so a private prescription is always more expensive, not less.
What we sell in Wales is speed and access, not savings, and we would rather say that before you pay than after.
Your GP registration decides it, and here that genuinely varies street by street.
Referral routes are the confusing part. Which system you end up in can depend on your practice, the specialty, and sometimes on which side of a road you live.
Getting a referral letter addressed correctly first time is worth more here than almost anywhere we cover, and it is one of the more practical things a twenty-minute consultation delivers.
Randox Health at Holland & Barrett, Broughton — which is close, and on the Welsh side.
Ask your NHS GP first. If the same test is free at your surgery, that is plainly the better answer and we will say so.
Vista Health's MRI unit at the Asda superstore on Holt Road, Wrexham.
Ask what the health board wait actually is before paying — it varies considerably by scan.
Yes — 6am to 10pm, seven days a week. Deeside Industrial Park runs continuous shifts, and an appointment before or after one is often the only realistic version.
Yes — Connah's Quay, Shotton, Queensferry, Hawarden, Broughton, Garden City, Sealand, Ewloe, Buckley and Mancot.
Please ask when booking so availability can be confirmed beforehand. Interpreting can also be arranged in a range of other languages.
Yes where clinically justified, and a private fit note is valid — employers must accept it, on either side of the border.
You do not need one for the first seven days, which self-certification covers.
Examine you — no blood pressure, no chest, no internal examinations.
And we never prescribe opioids or stimulants remotely, nor benzodiazepines or z-drugs for ongoing use.
Deeside is in Flintshire, in Wales, so independent healthcare here is regulated by Healthcare Inspectorate Wales — not the Care Quality Commission, which covers England only.
HIW registration reference: [TO BE ADDED BEFORE PUBLICATION]
Dr Mohammad Zubair Khan is registered with the General Medical Council, GMC number 7563469, verifiable on the GMC's public register. That register is UK-wide and applies equally either side of the border.
A provider advertising into Deeside on the strength of an English CQC registration alone is not thereby registered to provide services in Wales.
It is a reasonable question to ask any private provider here, and given how much cross-border care happens in this area, it is one worth asking.
NHS Wales operates an Active Offer of Welsh-language services — you should be offered care in Welsh without having to ask. Tell us when booking if you would prefer your consultation in Welsh.

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.
