New Year GP Appointments - Start 2026 Healthy
The New Year brings resolutions, fresh starts, and often the realisation that you have been ignoring something for too long.
That niggling symptom you kept meaning to get checked. The health MOT you have been putting off for years. The mental exhaustion you have been dismissing as normal busy-ness.
January is the perfect time to address what you have been avoiding.
New Year's Day GP Appointments
While most of the country is recovering from the night before, we are available for those who need medical attention.
Whether you are genuinely unwell and need care, or simply want to start the year with a health consultation, New Year's Day appointments are available.
The holiday period between Christmas and New Year is often when people finally have time to think about their health. We are here when that moment arrives.

January Health Checks
The New Year resolution to "get healthier" works better with data. Knowing your starting point makes goals realistic and progress measurable.
A January health check can include comprehensive blood tests covering cholesterol, blood sugar, liver function, kidney function, thyroid, vitamins, and inflammatory markers.
Cardiovascular assessment with blood pressure, heart rate, and risk calculation.
Weight, BMI, and body composition baseline.
Discussion of any symptoms or concerns you have been sitting on.
Review of lifestyle factors with realistic, evidence-based advice.
You leave knowing where you stand and what genuinely needs attention.
Addressing What You Have Been Ignoring
January is when people finally address things they have been putting off.
That lump you noticed months ago. The bleeding you have been dismissing. The fatigue that is not getting better. The mood changes you have been attributing to work stress.
The relief of getting these checked usually outweighs the anxiety of the appointment. And if something does need attention, earlier is always better than later.
No judgement about how long you waited. Just proper assessment and clear next steps.

Mental Health After the Holidays
The festive period is genuinely difficult for many people. Family tensions, loneliness, financial pressure, and comparison with seemingly happy others take their toll.
January can bring relief that it is over, but also a crash in mood. The short dark days do not help.
If you are struggling, talking to a GP is a reasonable first step. We can assess what you are experiencing, discuss options including therapy and medication, and help you access appropriate support.
You do not have to feel this way. Help is available.
Post-Holiday Illness
Spent Christmas with a cold that will not shift? Picked up a bug that has lingered into January? Travel brought back an unwelcome souvenir?
The first week of January is busy with people whose holiday illness has not resolved. We can assess persistent symptoms, prescribe treatment if needed, and provide sick notes for those who cannot face returning to work while still unwell.
New Year, New GP
Maybe your resolution is to stop waiting weeks for NHS appointments. To have a GP who actually has time to listen. To take your health as seriously as you take everything else.
Registering with a private GP is not instead of NHS care. It is alongside it, for when you need faster access, longer appointments, or services the NHS does not readily provide.
