Taking the step to book a private doctor’s appointment can sometimes feel like a big decision. Whether you are seeking a second opinion, need a more in-depth discussion about a long-standing health concern, or simply want the peace of mind that comes with timely care, knowing what to expect can make the process much smoother.

At a Glance: The Oving Clinic Difference

  • Time to Listen: Standard appointments are 20 minutes, more than double the typical 8-minute GP consultation.
  • Rapid Access: We prioritise same-day or next-day private doctor appointments to remove the wait.
  • Patient-Centred: A "self-pay" approach focuses on thoroughness, continuity of care, and your long-term wellbeing.

    • Specialist Expertise: Direct access to women's health, orthopaedics and specialist clinicians in a calm, private setting.

    At Oving Medical Clinic, we pride ourselves on providing a calm, professional, and patient-centred environment. Here is a guide to help you understand your journey with us, from the moment you book to your follow-up care.

    Easy and Flexible Booking

    We believe that accessing healthcare should be simple and fit around your life. That is why we offer multiple ways to secure your visit. You can use our easy-to-use online booking system or call our friendly reception team directly at 01243 773167.

    One of the greatest benefits of a private GP Chichester service is speed. We understand that health concerns don't always happen on a schedule, which is why we offer a same day GP appointment for those who need immediate medical attention. We also provide extended hours and weekend options by prior arrangement to accommodate busy professionals and families.

    Time to Be Heard

      The most significant difference you will notice during a private doctor’s appointment is the gift of time. While standard appointments elsewhere can often feel rushed, our consultations are typically 20 minutes long - and can be extended if your concerns are complex.

      This extra time allows our experienced GPs, such as Dr. Peter Morgan, Dr. Georgina Hughes, or Dr. Greg Wang, to listen to you thoroughly, conduct a detailed physical examination, and explain any potential diagnoses or treatment options clearly. You are also more than welcome to bring a friend or family member for support if that makes you feel more comfortable.

      What to Bring with You

      To make the most of your time with the doctor, we recommend arriving a few minutes early. Please bring:

      • A form of photo ID.
      • A list of any current medications you are taking.
      • Any relevant past medical records or recent test results from other providers.

      Diagnostic Excellence and Onward Care

      If your consultation identifies a need for further investigation, we offer a wide range of on-site diagnostic services, including blood tests and specialist screenings like theTrucheck multi-cancer blood test.

      Because we host a multidisciplinary team - including specialists in ENT, dermatology, and sports medicine (Insert page links)- we can often arrange fast-track in-house referrals. If you require hospital-based imaging or surgery, we can provide immediate private referrals or a detailed letter for your NHS GP to ensure your care remains coordinated.

      Transparent and Personalised Support

      At Oving Medical Clinic, there are no hidden fees. We provide transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing for one-off consultations, as well as affordable monthly subscription plans (link to plans) for those who want regular, priority access to their same day GP appointments Oving Medical Clinic.

      Ultimately, our goal is to provide a reliable and empathetic alternative for healthcare in Chichester. Whether you are visiting for a routine check-up or an urgent concern, you can expect professional, discreet, and high-quality care every step of the way.
