GP consultations
Our GP consultations provide comprehensive primary care for individuals and families. Services include health promotion, telephone consultations, and management of acute and chronic conditions. Patients benefit from extended appointment times and continuity of care with doctors who maintain detailed medical histories, ensuring personalised treatment plans and preventive health strategies.
Travel vaccines
Doctor Today offers tailored travel vaccination programmes and anti-malarial medication. Our TRAVAX database-informed consultations assess destination-specific risks, medical history, and duration of stay. The service includes free advice with qualifying purchases, yellow fever certification, and accelerated vaccination schedules for last-minute travellers, ensuring comprehensive protection for global journeys.
Antenatal care
Our private antenatal care package supports expectant mothers with comprehensive monitoring up to 34 weeks. Services include ultrasound scans, nutritional guidance, and preparation for delivery in private or NHS hospitals. The programme emphasises continuity of care, with dedicated GPs coordinating specialist referrals and addressing pregnancy-related concerns through regular check-ups and personalised health education.
Home visits

This service benefits elderly patients, those with mobility issues, or individuals recovering from illness, maintaining the same clinical standards as in-clinic consultations while offering greater convenience and comfort.
Health assessments
We offer comprehensive health assessments including cardiovascular checks, well-man and well-woman screenings, and key health evaluations. These assessments combine advanced diagnostic testing with lifestyle analysis to identify risk factors early. Patients receive detailed reports and actionable recommendations, supporting preventive care and long-term health management through evidence-based interventions and specialist referrals when necessary.
