Clinics in the UK run by Polish GPs

Facts about the clinics:

  • Despite charging £70 a visit, west London clinic already has almost 6,000 Britons on its books and offers 30-minute slots
  • Two thirds of NHS patients have to wait more than 48 hours for doctor’s appointment and few slots are available outside regular working week
  • My Medyk also offers dental surgery, varicose vein surgery, Botox, hypnotherapy, acupuncture and counselling sessions
  • Clinic was founded five years ago by two Polish doctors but now employs 50 staff, the majority of whom are Poles

A private doctor’s surgery run by Poles is attracting thousands of patients who have given up on the NHS. Open seven days a week, usually until 11pm, the clinic gives half-hour appointments – three times longer than usual. And, despite charging £70 a visit, it already has almost 6,000 Britons on its books. Customers are welcomed into the spotless and modern centre by friendly receptionists whose motto is to ‘put patients first’. It is also cheaper than rival operators. Bupa centres offer GP services at £67.49 for a 15-minute appointment – or £225 for a full hour. Their normal surgery hours are 8.30am to 5.15pm.
