Private GP care for patients here

Wilmslow is closer to a Randox collection point than anywhere else we cover — Cheadle is about four miles up the A34. That makes the full pathway unusually quick here: consultation today, sample tomorrow, results reviewed within days.

The town also sits directly beneath the Manchester Airport flight path, which shows up in what people book. Travel health advice, antimalarial prescriptions and letters for carrying medication abroad are all requested more often here than in comparable towns further from the airport.

A 20-minute appointment with a GMC-registered GP costs £40, available 6am to 10pm, seven days a week.

Local healthcare context

Wilmslow's residents generally look north for hospital care, toward Wythenshawe and the wider Manchester teaching hospitals, rather than south into Cheshire. It is one of the few places in the county where the natural pull of services is out of county entirely.

This is an affluent area with well-established private healthcare habits. Many households already pay for dentistry, optical care, physiotherapy and specialist consultations, and the barrier to a private GP appointment is low — the question is usually about quality and continuity rather than cost.

The town has a substantial professional commuter population working in Manchester, and a significant proportion of residents who travel regularly for work. Both groups tend to want appointments outside the working day and are comfortable with video consultation, having used it routinely in their working lives.

Proximity to Manchester Airport also means a steady flow of people needing health documentation at short notice — fitness to fly, medication letters, and travel advice booked closer to departure than is ideal.

Health themes in this area

Travel health is disproportionately represented here: antimalarials, destination-specific advice, and letters confirming prescribed medication for airport security and border control.

Executive health screening is a recurring request, driven by a professional population that treats a comprehensive blood panel as routine maintenance rather than a response to symptoms.

Stress, sleep and alcohol intake come up regularly in a demographic working long hours in high-pressure roles — often raised as fatigue rather than named directly.

Free NHS options nearby

Free routes worth trying first

Wilmslow is an area where people are used to paying for healthcare, which makes it exactly the place to say what does not need paying for.

  • Pharmacy First — sore throat, earache, sinusitis, impetigo, shingles, infected insect bites and uncomplicated urinary infections in women, all assessed and treated by a community pharmacist. Free, no appointment
  • NHS Talking Therapiesself-referral, no GP, free. Private therapy is widely used here and the NHS service is genuinely good
  • The NHS Health Check, free every five years from 40 to 74 — which covers most of what a paid health panel does, plus the blood pressure no panel can measure
  • 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

Wilmslow looks north for hospital care — toward Wythenshawe and the wider Manchester teaching hospitals — rather than south into Cheshire.

Chest pain, stroke symptoms, sudden breathlessness or a suspected fracture go to A&E or 999. Not to us, and we will say so within seconds rather than take a fee.

The screening that is worth more than a private panel

Bowel screening from 50, cervical screening from 25, breast screening from 50. All free, all invited automatically, and all evidenced in a way that no broad private blood panel is.

Common questions from patients here

Where would I go for a blood test?

Randox Health Cheadle — about four miles up the A34, and the shortest journey of anywhere we cover.

That makes the whole pathway quick here: consultation today, sample tomorrow, results reviewed within days.

And a scan?

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

Ask about the NHS wait before booking privately — and about Right to Choose, which lets you select a different NHS provider at no cost. It is under-used everywhere, including here.

Do you cover Alderley Edge and Handforth?

Yes — Alderley Edge, Handforth, Styal, Mobberley, Chorley, Lindow and Dean Row.

Consultations are remote, so the address makes no difference to access or to price.

Is a private health check worth having?

Often not, and we would rather say so before you pay.

General health screening in people without symptoms has not been shown to reduce death or serious illness, and a broad panel reliably produces borderline results that lead to more tests.

Where testing is genuinely worth it is when you have symptoms, a family history, or a specific question. That is a different conversation and a better use of £40.

I travel a lot for work. Does that fit?

Yes — that is much of why people here book. Appointments run 6am to 10pm, seven days a week, and a video consultation works from a hotel, an airport or a home office.

Travel health advice and vaccination planning are also common reasons to book from this area, given how close the airport is.

Can you send a prescription to my usual pharmacy?

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

Can you prescribe sleeping tablets or something for anxiety?

Not for ongoing use, and never started at a remote consultation. Opioids and stimulants we do not prescribe remotely at all.

What we can do is treat the cause properly, which for persistent insomnia usually means CBT for insomnia rather than medication — and that is available free.

What can you not do?

Examine you. No blood pressure, no examinations, no cervical screening.

Is there a Wilmslow clinic?

No — the service is entirely remote. There are no premises, which is a large part of why the fee is £40 rather than what a local private practice charges.

Regulation and registration

Who regulates our care here

Wilmslow is in England, so our service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, the independent regulator of health and social care in England.

CQC Provider ID: [TO BE ADDED BEFORE PUBLICATION]

Dr Mohammad Zubair Khan is on the GMC register, number 7563469, verifiable on the GMC's public register.

We quote no inspection rating. Where a provider does quote one, it is worth checking what it actually covers.

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.
