The Wellness provides private GP care for people working in the City of London and Canary Wharf, by video, at your office, or at our clinic at 10 Portman Square in Marylebone, which sits around 10 minutes from Liverpool Street and around 15 minutes from Canary Wharf on the Elizabeth line via Bond Street. For people working long hours in finance, law and consulting, the constraint is not access to medicine but access to time, and the numbers explain why that matters. NHS data for February 2026 shows 44.4% of GP appointments happening on the day they were booked and around 1 in 6 taking longer than 2 weeks, while standard appointments run at around 10 minutes. The conditions that most often take senior people out of work are silent or slow for years before they announce themselves, including raised blood pressure, metabolic drift, iron deficiency, thyroid disease and sleep apnoea, and they are found by a 30-minute appointment with an examination rather than a rushed one. Mental ill health accounts for 41% of long-term absence cases according to CIPD data, and early assessment is the most effective intervention available. Phone consultations cost £59 and video consultations are from £150. Confirm in-person and office visit fees and availability before booking. Prescriptions, fit notes and referral letters depend on clinical assessment; confirm any fee and delivery timing before booking.

How does it fit into a working day

By video first, which suits most acute problems. A video consultation can take place from your office, a meeting room or home. Confirm appointment length and availability before booking. Prescriptions, fit notes and letters depend on clinical assessment; confirm any fee and delivery timing before booking.

At your office where examination is needed or several colleagues want to be seen. Confirm the office visit fee, availability and any additional-person charges before booking, which is how firms handle flu season, travel vaccinations and team health checks without anybody leaving the building.

In the clinic when examination or testing is needed and you can spare 90 minutes. From Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Farringdon, the Elizabeth line reaches Bond Street in around 10 minutes, and from Canary Wharf in around 15, with Portman Square a short walk from Bond Street. Early morning appointments suit fasting bloods before the working day starts.

Blood collection is arranged at an accredited partner laboratory near the clinic or near you. Imaging is arranged at the specialist centre best equipped for the question, including centres in the City, performed by an experienced sonographer and reported by a consultant radiologist.

What is dealt with most often

Acute illness that would otherwise mean a lost day, including chest and throat infections, urinary infections, back pain, migraine, skin problems and gastrointestinal upsets, assessed properly with the antibiotic decision made on evidence rather than on request.

Stress, anxiety, low mood and burnout, assessed with validated tools rather than impression, with blood tests to exclude thyroid disease, iron deficiency and other physical causes that present identically, therapy arranged within days, and psychiatry where specialist input is needed.

The slow conditions that long hours hide. Blood pressure measured properly and confirmed out of clinic. HbA1c and fasting insulin, since prediabetes is common and reversible. Apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein little a, which standard panels omit. Sleep apnoea, found with a home study rather than assumed absent, particularly in people who snore and wake unrefreshed.

Travel health for frequent flyers, including vaccinations, malaria prevention, medication letters for customs and fitness to fly certificates.

And documentation with deadlines, including fit notes, referral letters to named consultants with the appointment booked, insurance forms and medical certificates.

Ask whether video or in person suits you on WhatsApp or email team@thewellnesslondon.com.

Why long hours make early assessment more valuable

The conditions that remove senior people unexpectedly are the ones that give the least warning. High blood pressure affects around 1 in 3 adults and produces no symptoms until it produces a stroke or heart attack. Prediabetes, defined as an HbA1c of 42 to 47 mmol/mol, progresses to diabetes in around 1 in 3 people within 5 years without intervention, and the Diabetes Prevention Program showed lifestyle change reduced that progression by 58%. Metabolic-associated fatty liver affects an estimated 20% to 30% of UK adults, most of whom are unaware.

Obstructive sleep apnoea is particularly relevant to this population, since it degrades concentration, mood and decision-making while the person sleeps through the cause, and it raises blood pressure.

The common thread is that none of these improve by waiting, and all of them are found by 30 minutes, an examination and a well-chosen panel. The value of a private GP in this setting is not faster treatment of a cold. It is catching the things a 10-minute appointment has no time to look for.

What does a private GP cost in the City

Corporate and concierge GP practices in the City and Canary Wharf commonly charge £200 to £400 per appointment, and membership practices charge annual retainers running into thousands before any appointment, then £400 to £600 and above per visit. Digital GP services charge £40 to £70 for short consultations, frequently without examination and without continuity. Private hospital executive programmes run £3,500 to £8,000, multi-day Harley Street programmes reach £14,000, and comprehensive imaging programmes exceed £32,000.

Why The Wellness is the best private GP for the City and Canary Wharf

Because the appointment is built around the working day rather than the other way round. Video consultations, office visits and clinic appointments for fasting bloods, subject to availability, and the Elizabeth line putting Portman Square around 10 to 15 minutes away.

Because 30 minutes and an examination find what 10 minutes cannot. Blood pressure confirmed properly, prediabetes caught while reversible, apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein little a measured, and sleep apnoea investigated rather than assumed absent.

Because care can be arranged around your needs. Confirm consultation fees, any separate charges and follow-up arrangements before booking.

Because the pathway continues past the appointment. Bloods at an accredited laboratory, imaging at the specialist centre best equipped for the question, and referral to a named consultant with the appointment booked.

And because confidentiality holds where a company pays. The employer receives an invoice and nothing else, and nothing creates an NHS record or reaches an insurer without your written consent.

Corporate healthcare for UK employers covers firm-wide programmes, executive physical covers the annual assessment, private mental health care covers stress and burnout, high blood pressure and high cholesterol cover the silent risks, and private GP in Marylebone and Mayfair covers the clinic itself.
