In Scotland, we are proud of our NHS, but the reality of modern healthcare can often be frustrating. In Aberdeen, many surgeries are working with "Managed Lists", making it difficult to even register as a patient. For others, the daily "8 a.m. phone scramble" to secure an appointment creates a lottery that no one wants to play when they are feeling unwell.
At AberGP, we believe healthcare should be built around you. We have created a practice that moves away from these common hurdles, focusing instead on transparency, choice, and giving you the control you deserve.
Putting You Back in Control of Your Health Data
One of the most significant gaps in the Scottish healthcare system is the "data wall". Patients often find it difficult to see their own records, blood results, or scan reports. We have removed that wall.
Every AberGP patient receives a secure account on our
Halaxy Patient Portal. This is a complete window into your health journey, available 24/7.
- Total Transparency: You can read exactly what was discussed in your consultation by accessing your GP's written notes.
- Access Your Documents: Your referral letters, fit notes, and certificates are all stored there for you to download whenever you need them.
- Live Results: You can see your blood test results and scan reports as soon as our clinicians have reviewed them.
By having the same information your doctor has, you move from being a "bystander" to a "partner" in your own care.
The Power of Choice: Find the Right Fit
Data ownership is only one part of the puzzle; the person looking after you is just as important. We have a team of 10 experienced GPs, all of whom trained and worked right here in Aberdeen.
We believe you should have the power to choose who looks after you. On our website, you can meet our clinicians and pick the doctor whose personality and clinical background feel like the right fit. Once you find a doctor you trust, you can choose to see that same GP every time. This continuity ensures you don't have to retell your story at every visit, allowing your doctor to build a deep understanding of your health over time.
Flexible Care That Fits Your Life
Once you've chosen your doctor, we make sure the consultation works for your schedule and your specific needs. We don't believe in "one size fits all" medicine.
- Choose Your Time: You decide how much time you need. We offer 15, 30, or 45-minute appointments, so you never have to feel rushed.
- Flexible Consulting: You can visit us face-to-face at our central Aberdeen clinic (with free parking), or consult via video or phone.
- The £30 eConsultation: For busy professionals or quick questions, our online eConsultation allows you to get expert advice and reassurance for just £30.
Transparent Pricing: No Hidden Costs
We know that "fear of the unknown" often stops people from seeking private care. That is why we are 100% transparent about our costs.
- Visible Fees: All our fees – from appointment costs to administrative tasks like sick lines and certificates – are clearly listed on our website.
- All-Inclusive Testing: Whether you need an ECG, a steroid injection, or contraceptive services, you will know the price before your procedure begins.
- No Admin Fees for Prescriptions Issued During Appointments: If we issue a prescription during your paid appointment, we do not charge an extra administrative fee. You simply pay the pharmacy for the medicine itself.
Moving Your Care Forward, Fast
We understand that when you have a health concern, waiting is the hardest part. In a large system, paperwork can often sit on a desk for weeks.
At AberGP, we have a "no-delay" culture. We aim to have all administrative paperwork, including referral letters to specialists, sent within 48 hours (and often much sooner).
Our doctors have spent years working in Aberdeen and have strong connections with local consultants, ensuring your journey to a specialist is as smooth and fast as possible.
A Shared Responsibility for Our Community
Finally, choosing private care is often about more than just personal convenience. Many of our patients feel a sense of "unburdening" the system. By choosing to pay for their own care or use their insurance, they are leaving a free NHS slot available for someone else who may not have the means to choose another option. It is a way of looking after your own health while supporting the wider community of Aberdeen.
