Welcome to Spa Private Medical Services (SPMS)

A Private General Practice Service for Cheltenham.

Why see a private GP?

Your health and that of your family are the most important things in your life but you are also busy and time is a valuable resource. You can’t always get to see your NHS GP on a day or at a time that suits you and often, due to NHS pressures, you’ll see a different doctor at each visit and a ten minute appointment can feel like a rush.

At Spa Private Medical Services we aim to provide up to date medical care with traditional doctoring values, but with an unrushed, patient-centred approach that is flexible to your needs. You’ll see the same doctor at each visit and there will be time for you to explain and ask and for the doctor to listen, examine and advise.

We aim to provide prompt appointments – booked by talking directly to the GP – and usually within 24hrs and times that suit your lifestyle. We are also happy to do home visits within the Cheltenham area.

Being partly based at the Nuffield Hospital - Cheltenham's Private Hospital we have excellent links to both medical and surgical specialists, should you need onward referral and quick access to diagnostic tests from simple bloods to complex scans. Results are usually back in a few days. There is also speedy access to ancillary specialties such as physiotherapists and counsellors/Cognitive Behavioural Therapists based at the Nuffield.

The service is totally confidential and consultations and results need not be relayed to your NHS GP if you would prefer this.
