Why choose our Private Doctor?

There will be occasions when you need to seek immediate medical guidance or treatment from a Doctor. Park Private Clinic [Nottingham] offers an unrivalled, high quality Private GP Medical service. We recognise that the demands of modern living means that our patients lead busy lives.

How long are the appointments?

We offer appointment and consultations lengths to suit you, ranging from 15 to 30 minutes. When you first speak to our appointments team you will be asked about the nature of your consultation, which will determine the length of your appointment.

Can I bring my children to the appointment?

Unfortunately we do not have child minding facilities at our clinic. As we are medical clinic, it is not recommended to bring children in who do not have an appointment with us. Please make childcare arrangements beforehand. If you have more than one child booked in for an appointment with us, please arrange for another responsible adult to be with you to help supervise.

Do I have to register to be seen?

No, you do not have to register. Whilst there are many benefits of registering with us, including all year round Medical cover, home visits, reduced prices for consultations, investigations and treatments; you may also be seen as a non-registered patient if you wish.
