Private GP care for patients here

Stockport is the closest place we cover to a Randox collection point — Cheadle is around three miles from the town centre. In practice that means the whole pathway can move quickly: consultation one day, sample the next, results reviewed within days rather than weeks.

Twenty minutes with a GMC-registered GP costs £40, available 6am to 10pm, seven days a week, by secure video or telephone.

It is a borough of sharp contrasts, and what people need from a GP varies enormously depending on which part of it they live in.

Local healthcare context

Stepping Hill Hospital serves the borough, with specialist services drawing into central Manchester. The hospital sits toward the south of the borough, which suits Hazel Grove and Bramhall considerably better than it suits Reddish or Brinnington.

Stockport contains some of the most affluent neighbourhoods in Greater Manchester and some of its most deprived, occasionally within a couple of miles of each other. The gap in life expectancy across the borough is one of the widest in the region, and borough-level statistics are close to meaningless as a result.

The southern suburbs — Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Marple, Woodford — have high existing private healthcare use and a population comfortable with paying for convenience and continuity. The northern part of the borough has a different profile entirely, with demand driven by access rather than preference.

A large commuter population travels into Manchester daily, and the practical consequence is the familiar one: standard surgery hours are unavailable to a substantial share of working residents.

Health themes in this area

Preventive screening is a common reason to book from the southern suburbs — comprehensive blood panels, cardiovascular risk assessment and bone density scanning around menopause.

Long-term condition review is prominent in an older population, particularly blood pressure, cholesterol and thyroid monitoring.

The short distance to Cheadle makes Stockport well suited to anything test-led. Where a diagnosis depends on bloods, the turnaround here is about as quick as remote care gets.

Free NHS options nearby

Free routes worth trying first

  • Pharmacy First — pharmacists across the borough, from Reddish to Marple, can assess and treat sore throat, earache, sinusitis, impetigo, shingles, infected insect bites and uncomplicated urinary infections in women. Free, no appointment
  • NHS Talking Therapiesself-refer without a GP, free
  • The NHS Health Check, free every five years from 40 to 74
  • The HRT prepayment certificate, one payment covering a year of HRT prescriptions
  • NHS 111 for urgent problems that are not emergencies

Urgent and emergency care

Stepping Hill Hospital holds the emergency department for the borough and a wide catchment reaching into the Peak District fringe.

Chest pain, stroke symptoms, sudden breathlessness or a suspected fracture go there or to 999. A suspected broken bone in particular belongs at A&E, where it is X-rayed and treated in one visit rather than referred privately days later.

Free screening beats a private panel

Bowel screening from 50, cervical screening from 25, breast screening from 50. All free, all invited automatically, and each does something no blood panel can.

Common questions from patients here

Where would I go for a blood test?

Randox Health Cheadle — around three miles from the town centre, which makes Stockport the closest place we cover to a collection point.

In practice that means the whole pathway is quick here: consultation, sample the next day, results reviewed within a few days.

And a scan?

Vista Health's South East Manchester diagnostic centre at Crownpoint Shopping Park, Denton — also close.

Ask about the NHS wait before paying, and about Right to Choose, which lets you select a different NHS provider at no cost.

Do you cover the whole borough?

Yes — Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Hazel Grove, Marple, Romiley, Reddish, Heaton Moor, Woodford and Offerton.

Stockport contains a wide range of circumstances across short distances, and a remote service is the same price and the same appointment wherever in the borough you are.

Can you review results I already have?

Yes — from the NHS App, another private provider, or a home testing kit.

Send them in advance with the reference ranges visible. It is frequently more useful than buying another panel, and considerably cheaper.

Can I get an appointment outside working hours?

Yes — 6am to 10pm, seven days a week. With this many people commuting into Manchester, an appointment that fits either end of the day is usually the only workable one.

Can you send a prescription to my usual pharmacy?

Yes — electronically, to whichever you choose. You collect it; nothing is posted.

And where something is cheaper over the counter than a prescription charge, we will tell you.

What can you not do?

Examine you — no blood pressure, no chest, no joints, no internal examinations.

And we never prescribe opioids or stimulants remotely, nor benzodiazepines or z-drugs for ongoing use.

Is there a Stockport clinic?

No — the service is entirely remote, with no premises anywhere. The nearby Randox site is a partner collection point, not our clinic.

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.
