Visiting London
You do not need to be registered with a doctor here, or to have an address in this country.
Call or message The Wellness first. When a hotel visit is clinically appropriate, we confirm the doctor, fee and expected arrival time before anyone is sent. A visit is £450 and you need no prior registration. Prescriptions can be delivered and blood tests taken in the room, and your results stay in the app.
Dr Adel Elalfy consults in both. For any other language we bring an interpreter onto the call before the doctor arrives.
Every result, letter and prescription goes into one record you open from any country. A doctor anywhere can read it, and you can delete it the day you ask.
No. We are a private clinic. We need your name, a date of birth, a telephone number and the address you are staying at, which can be a hotel. A prescription is dispensed to a UK address, and your hotel is a UK address.
A visit to your room is £450 and covers up to an hour with the doctor. A telephone consultation is £59 and a video consultation is £150. Blood tests start at £350 and a certificate at £50. Medicine is charged at cost plus the pharmacy fee. You are told every figure before anyone is sent.
For a hotel in central London a doctor is usually at the door inside sixty minutes. Monday to Friday eight until eight, Saturday nine until five, Sunday ten until four. Outside those hours you can still message us and a doctor rings you back.
Yes, from three months old, with a parent or guardian in the room. For a newborn under three months we send you to a paediatric emergency department, because that is the right place and we will say so rather than take the booking.
Usually. Bring the box or a photograph of it. A UK doctor cannot prescribe every medicine licensed elsewhere, and controlled drugs have rules we do not bend, so the doctor will tell you on the telephone before the visit rather than at your door.
You pay us and we give you a receipt and a doctor’s letter written for an insurer. Most travel policies reimburse a private consultation on that. We do not bill insurers directly.
Blood drawn before midday is usually read the same day. Tell us the flight when you book and the doctor works back from it.
This is not an emergency service. For chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe bleeding or a head injury, ring 999.
For concierge desksThe doctor writes you a letter your own doctor at home can read, before you have landed.
