Alongside the NHS, not instead of it. Keep your NHS GP. Call 999 in an emergency. Friends Medical GP is for planned private appointments and home visits that are not emergencies.
UTI and cystitis
A urinary tract infection can wreck a day. Burning, frequency, going little and often, or a sudden fever with loin pain should not wait for a routine NHS slot. A GMC-registered GP in Lurgan can assess you the same day or next day, decide if antibiotics are justified, and tell you honestly when this is not a simple UTI.
Headache and migraine
Headaches are common. Migraine is often under-treated. A private GP slot is long enough to take the history properly, check for the rare dangerous causes, and review the tablets you already buy over the counter.
Menopause and perimenopause
Hot flushes, wrecked sleep, a short fuse, and a period pattern that has gone off-script are enough reason to book a longer GP slot. You do not need to “wait until it is unbearable”. We can talk about HRT, non-hormonal options, and what needs a gynaecology opinion rather than a GP prescription.
