Private GP care for patients here

Nantwich serves a genuinely agricultural hinterland. Beyond the town's Tudor centre, south Cheshire is dairy farming country, and farming is one of the few occupations where the working day cannot simply be paused for an appointment.

Livestock does not wait. Neither does milking. A consultation that happens at 6am or at 9pm, from a farm office or a kitchen table, fits a working life that a nine-to-five surgery does not.

Twenty minutes with a GMC-registered GP costs £40, and includes any sick note, prescription or referral letter that follows.

Local healthcare context

Nantwich looks to Leighton Hospital at Crewe for acute care, around five miles away — close by rural standards, though the villages further out toward Audlem and Wrenbury are a different proposition entirely.

The town itself is affluent and its population notably older than the county average, with a large retired community drawn by the historic centre and the quality of the surrounding countryside. Long-term condition review, bone health and medication management make up much of the routine demand.

The agricultural community around it presents differently. Farming carries a well-documented pattern of physical injury, respiratory exposure, and isolation — and an equally well-documented reluctance to seek help early. It is an industry where people work through things, and where mental health problems in particular go unaddressed for a long time.

Reaseheath College brings a substantial student population into the area during term, most of them registered elsewhere and many working outdoors in physically demanding placements.

Health themes in this area

Occupational injury is a recurring theme — back, shoulder and hand problems from years of physical work, often presented late and after significant deterioration.

Respiratory symptoms come up in an agricultural population with regular exposure to dust, grain and livestock environments.

Mental health is the area where a private, unhurried and genuinely confidential appointment may matter most. Rural isolation and the pressures of farming are a difficult combination, and a 20-minute consultation with no waiting room and no local visibility removes several of the reasons people put it off.

Free NHS options nearby

Free routes worth trying first

  • Pharmacy First — pharmacists in Nantwich can assess and treat sore throat, earache, sinusitis, impetigo, shingles, infected insect bites and uncomplicated urinary infections in women, free and without an appointment
  • NHS Talking Therapiesself-refer without a GP, free
  • The NHS Health Check, free every five years from 40 to 74 — cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes risk
  • The HRT prepayment certificate, covering a year of HRT prescriptions for one payment
  • NHS 111 for urgent problems that are not emergencies

Urgent and emergency care

Leighton Hospital at Crewe is the acute site and holds the emergency department — around five miles away, which is genuinely close by south Cheshire standards.

Chest pain, stroke symptoms, sudden breathlessness or a suspected fracture go there or to 999, not through a remote consultation. The proximity is an argument for using it, not for booking us first.

Free screening

Bowel screening from 50, cervical screening from 25, breast screening from 50 — all free, all invited automatically, and all worth more than any private blood panel.

Common questions from patients here

Where would I go for a blood test?

Randox Health at Holland & Barrett, Broughton is the listed partner clinic, though Cheadle is an alternative and a referral can go wherever suits your route.

Ask your NHS GP first. Leighton is five miles away, and if the same test can be done there free, that is the better answer and we will say so.

And a scan?

Vista Health's MRI unit at Asda Wolstanton Retail Park, Stoke-on-Trent.

Check the NHS wait before paying, and ask about Right to Choose — you can select a different NHS provider with a shorter wait at no cost.

Do you cover the villages?

Yes — Audlem, Wrenbury, Bunbury, Acton, Wybunbury, Willaston, Faddiley and Burland.

This is where remote consultation earns its place. Nantwich itself is well served; the villages toward Audlem and Wrenbury are a different proposition entirely, with thin bus provision and a real journey to any surgery.

I have given up driving. Does that rule me out?

The opposite — it is one of the strongest reasons to use a remote service.

Repeat prescriptions, blood pressure discussions, medication reviews and results conversations all work perfectly well by telephone, and none of them requires anyone to get in a car.

Can you review my medications?

Yes, and it is one of the more useful twenty minutes available if you are on several long-term medicines.

Send your repeat prescription list in advance. Interactions, duplications and medicines nobody has questioned for years are common findings — and your NHS GP can do this free too, which is worth asking about.

Can you send a prescription to a Nantwich pharmacy?

Yes — electronically, to whichever you use. You collect it yourself.

What can you not do?

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.

Is there a Nantwich clinic?

No — the service is entirely remote, with no premises anywhere.

Questions about our service

How quickly can I be seen?

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.

Will I see the same doctor each time?

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.

Can you see my NHS records?

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.

Are you trying to replace my NHS GP?

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.

What is included in the appointment?

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.

How much does it cost?

£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.

What does “treatable online” actually mean?

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.

Can you prescribe antibiotics?

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.

What if the GP cannot help with what I need?

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.

What should I do in an emergency?

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.
