Private GP care for patients here

Wrexham is twelve miles from Chester and a different healthcare system entirely. That matters more than the distance does, and it is worth being clear about what changes when you cross the border.

A 20-minute consultation with a GMC-registered GP costs £40, by video or telephone, from 6am to 10pm seven days a week. Any sick note, referral letter or written summary is included.

One thing is genuinely different in Wales, and we would rather say it than let you find out at the pharmacy: NHS prescriptions are free here. That changes the arithmetic on private prescribing considerably, and we set it out below.

Local healthcare context

Wrexham is served by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, with Wrexham Maelor Hospital as the acute site. The health board has spent extended periods under Welsh Government special measures — first from 2015 to 2020, and again from 2023 — and the resulting pressure on waiting times is a documented and widely reported driver of private demand across North Wales.

Prescription charges do not exist in Wales. They were abolished in 2007, and every NHS prescription dispensed here is free regardless of income or exemption status. This has a direct consequence for private care that most private providers will not spell out: a private prescription in Wales is never cheaper than the NHS alternative, because the NHS alternative costs nothing. If you can get what you need from your NHS GP, that is the cheaper route, and we will say so during the consultation rather than after it.

What a private prescription buys in Wales is speed and access, not savings. For anyone waiting weeks for an appointment, that can still be worth paying for — but it should be a decision made with the actual numbers in front of you.

Cross-border care is a normal part of life here. Many Wrexham residents work in Chester and Cheshire, and some are referred into English trusts. That can complicate onward referral, and getting the letter addressed to the right place first time saves real delay.

Health themes in this area

Wrexham Industrial Estate is among the largest in Europe and a major local employer, with the shift-work health pattern that comes with it — disrupted sleep, irregular eating, and cardiovascular risk that builds quietly. Early and late appointments matter more here than mid-morning ones.

Manufacturing and construction work brings musculoskeletal presentations and noise-related hearing problems, and a workforce culture that tends not to take time off to have them looked at.

Long waits for routine referral across the health board mean people frequently arrive having lived with something for months. A consultation with time in it is often the first opportunity anyone has had to take a full history.

A note on language: we can arrange interpreting in a wide range of languages. If you would prefer your consultation in Welsh, please ask when booking so we can confirm availability before you pay.

Free NHS options nearby

Free routes worth trying first — and in Wales, free means free

  • NHS prescriptions cost nothing in Wales. No charge, no exemption certificate, no prepayment scheme. This is the single most important fact on this page for anyone weighing up private care
  • Your community pharmacy can assess and treat a long list of common conditions under the NHS Wales pharmacy service — free, and without an appointment
  • NHS 111 Wales, online or by phone, for urgent problems that are not emergencies
  • Bowel Screening Wales, Cervical Screening Wales and Breast Test Wales — the Welsh screening programmes, all free and all invited automatically
  • Your NHS GP, who holds your full record and can refer on urgent pathways we cannot access

Urgent and emergency care

Wrexham Maelor Hospital is the acute site and holds the emergency department for the county borough.

Chest pain, stroke symptoms, sudden breathlessness or a suspected fracture go there or to 999, never through a remote consultation.

Your right to Welsh

You are entitled to receive NHS care in Welsh, and you should not have to ask twice for it. If you would prefer your consultation in Welsh, tell us when booking so we can confirm availability before you pay rather than after.

Common questions from patients here

Is a private prescription cheaper than the NHS here?

No — and this is the most important thing on the page.

NHS prescriptions are free in Wales, and have been since 2007. A private prescription therefore always costs more than the NHS alternative, because the NHS alternative costs nothing.

What a private prescription buys in Wales is speed and access, not savings. If you can get what you need from your NHS GP, that is the cheaper route — and we will tell you so during the consultation rather than after it.

So what am I actually paying for?

Time, and getting seen. The health board has spent extended periods under Welsh Government special measures, and the resulting pressure on waiting times is well documented.

For anyone waiting weeks for an appointment, £40 for twenty minutes can still be worth paying — but it should be a decision made with the actual numbers in front of you.

Where would I go for a blood test?

Randox Health at Holland & Barrett, Broughton — across the border in Flintshire and easy to reach from Wrexham.

And a scan?

Vista Health's MRI unit at the Asda superstore on Holt Road, Wrexham — in the town itself.

Ask your GP what the health board wait actually is before paying. It varies by scan, and it is sometimes shorter than assumed.

I work at the industrial estate on shifts. Can I be seen around them?

Yes — 6am to 10pm, seven days a week.

Wrexham Industrial Estate is among the largest in Europe, and early and late appointments matter more here than mid-morning ones.

Can I have my consultation in Welsh?

Please ask when booking so we can confirm availability before your appointment. Interpreting can also be arranged in a wide range of other languages.

Do you cover the surrounding areas?

Yes — Rhosllanerchrugog, Coedpoeth, Gresford, Rossett, Chirk, Ruabon, Llay, Cefn Mawr and Marchwiel.

I work in England but live in Wales. Which rules apply?

Your GP registration decides it, not where you work. Registered with a Welsh practice means free NHS prescriptions, whichever side of the border your job is on.

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.

Regulation and registration

Who regulates our care here

Wrexham is 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, which anyone can verify on the GMC's public register. The GMC register is UK-wide, so it applies equally either side of the border.

Why this matters

A provider quoting only an English CQC registration is not thereby registered to provide services in Wales. It is a fair question to ask any private provider advertising into North Wales, and we would rather you asked it.

Welsh language

NHS Wales operates an Active Offer of Welsh-language services — you should be offered care in Welsh without having to request it. Tell us when booking if you would prefer your consultation in Welsh.

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.
