Private GP service in Bognor and surrounding areas with same day appointments available

Fast GP
An experienced GP on the south coast has opened a new private clinic, offering flexible same day appointments for people who need his help.

Dr Nadeem Akram is highly experienced local GP, having worked in the NHS for all his career. He first qualified as an orthopaedic surgeon, based at Worthing Hospital, before switching the theatre for general practice 23 years ago.

He runs the busy Bognor Health Centre, and is extremely proud to have continued the practice when other partners retired, and built it back up again to a thriving service with six NHS doctors and a team of nurses and other specialists.

However, he knows that people not registered at his practice, or not registered in the NHS system at all, often report not getting appointments in good time. And for those requiring services not covered by the NHS, he is pleased to offer an alternative option in his own time.

His new private service, Fast GP, offers flexible in person access to him five days a week, but out of normal GP hours. He has leased his own practice room – which is more relaxed and welcoming than a standard clinical setting – and fits in appointments after hours, so that his own practice does not suffer at all.

Often these appointments are on the same day, and prices include prescriptions where appropriate. Certain follow-ups, such as wound cleaning and inspection, are free – full details are available on the website.

People can come to see me if they are not one of my registered patients, and I can help them. I can do the full range of general practice things, including minor surgeries. And with 23 years of GP experience, a background in orthopaedics, and a real interest in sports injuries, I can help in a number of ways.

Dr Akram

Most of his private patients can be seen and treated on the same day, but if something is likely to require ongoing assessment or specialist help, he can refer patients back to the NHS for support.

The other service Fast GP offers is for things not typically covered by the NHS, including private medicals or minor skin surgeries.

He said: “For example, hayfever injections are not available on the NHS but are effective. I have people booking an appointment on my website and coming in just for that.”

He says that while the private service is not for everyone, the flexibility and less clinical experience is popular, and people are often happy to book an appointment for a huge range of physical and mental health conditions.

Services include

– Joint and soft tissue pain

– Minor skin surgery

– Private medicals

– Mental health counselling

– Private vaccinations

He added: “I try to be as flexible as possible to make appointment times that work for patients. And I also book longer appointment sessions … people won’t be hurried through their appointment, and will feel relaxed here.”
