I am visiting and need to find a doctor in UK to refill a prescription originally prescribed in the US. It’s cheaper to fill here than to have it shipped here….I just need to find out who to call to see a private doctor here and pay cash for the visit. The closer to the SW of London (Ashford area), the better.

    Try Ashford Hospital, just half-mile from town centre.
    or Sunbury Health Centre, Green Street, Sunbury-on-thames For telephone numbers use directory enquiries.
    or Shepperton Health Centre, Shepperton( tel; 01932 220524 )
    Hope this helps you, with your problem ?

    If you want a prescription go to the local GP surgery. They will almost certainly be able to issue a private prescription, but if not, can refer you to someone who can.

    Why dont you just go to your local doctor who will charge for the prescription …whats the difference….if you go and see your local doctor he will tell you the best way and who to see…
    alot of private doctors exist in specialist clinics and hospitals…
    I live in Ashford…..and was referred to a private consultancy even though treatment was available on the NHS….
    Private doctors dont exist here like the states you may have to pay for private health care first before you see one such as BUPA~

    We don’t have a culture of private doctors here. Unless you’re seriously rich! A private doctor will give you a private prescription, you won’t get it on the NHS, and a private doctor will charge you a ton as they’ll insist on giving you a full medical before taking you on as you’re not resident here.
    Your best bet is a private drop in centre. There are a few Medicentres in SW London and these will usually do a repeat prescription for you. But it’s not cheap, a basic session is about £30. I don’t know what you take but you won’t get change out of £100 for a month’s tablets on private prescription.http://www.medicentre.co.uk/

    Just be glad you aren’t looking for a dentist. Evidently, they don’t have any.
