The London General Practice

Company Profile

The London General Practice is a distinguished private medical practice located in the prestigious Harley Street medical district of London, catering to UHNW and HNW individuals, families, and corporations. Since its establishment in 2005, the practice has earned a reputation for delivering exceptional, discreet care to some of the world’s most discerning clients.

Housed in a meticulously refurbished four-story townhouse, The London General Practice boasts state-of-the-art consultation rooms, nurse treatment facilities, and access to the finest laboratory and imaging diagnostics available in London. The practice is staffed by a dedicated team of more than 30 professionals, including 15 doctors and two nurses, all committed to providing personalised and comprehensive primary healthcare. 

At the heart of The London General Practice’s philosophy is the commitment to offering swift, same-day appointments with a focus on individualised care. Appointments are designed to be a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing ample time for a thorough examination, a detailed discussion, and an opportunity for patients to ask questions. This approach ensures that each patient receives the attention and care they deserve. 

The practice’s strategic location in Harley Street enables it to partner with world-class laboratories and diagnostic providers, ensuring that test results are often available within hours. Patients can have blood tests and imaging diagnostics performed in the morning and receive their results by the end of the same day. This swift turnaround time is a hallmark of the practice’s commitment to efficiency and excellence in patient care. 

Beyond general medicine, The London General Practice offers a comprehensive health screening service tailored to the unique needs of each patient. These bespoke packages typically include an initial consultation with a nurse followed by an in-depth examination by a doctor. Once test results are received, patients are invited for a follow-up consultation to review the findings and develop a personalised action plan for maintaining optimal health. The practice continually evolves its screening services, recently incorporating genetic testing, early cancer detection blood tests, and specialised menopause and perimenopause support programmes. 

The London General Practice operates a 24/7 on-call service, providing round-the-clock care to patients. The practice’s doctors are available for home visits at any time, day or night, and also extend their services to many of London’s five-star hotels, ensuring that guests receive top-tier medical care during their stay. 

The practice’s commitment to excellence is underpinned by a robust integrated clinical governance programme. This framework ensures the safety and effectiveness of all aspects of the practice’s operations. Regular inspections by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the appointment of named leads for various clinical aspects, such as medicines management and safeguarding, further demonstrate the practice’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards of care. 

The London Global Practice brand extends the practice’s reach beyond the UK, enabling patients to access a global network of doctors in the US, Middle East, and Far East. This global presence ensures that patients receive consistent, high-quality care, no matter where they are in the world. 

The practice is also renowned for its work within the entertainment industry, providing medical care to artists and performers in television, film, and music. The practice collaborates closely with insurers and underwriters, particularly in assessing medical risk for artists and production companies in both the UK and the US.

Corporate healthcare is another integral aspect of The London General Practice’s offerings, including occupational health services, executive health screenings, and wellness programmes designed to benefit companies and their employees across the UK. The practice’s flexible and tailored approach allows it to meet the specific needs of each business it serves. 

With a deep understanding of the unique needs and pressures faced by high-profile individuals, particularly those in the arts, The London General Practice is a trusted partner for those seeking the highest standard of medical care. Led by Dr Paul Ettlinger, the practice continues to set the benchmark for private healthcare in London and beyond.
