If you’re looking for a private doctor near Southport, Ormskirk, and Liverpool, Formby GP can help!
Our private surgery is conveniently located opposite Freshfield Station – just down the road from the stunning Formby beach and pinewoods, and an easy train ride from Birkdale, Hillside, Ainsdale and Southport to the north, and Hightown, Blundellsands, Crosby, Waterloo, Bootle and Liverpool to the south.
We offer good old-fashioned GP care. Unlike the NHS, we offer 30-minute face-to-face appointments as standard, so you’ll have plenty of time to discuss all of your worries.
As well as being kind and compassionate, both of our private doctors are expert GPs. Dr Heather and Dr John are both Fellows of the Royal College of General Practitioners – Fellowship is the highest grade of RCGP membership, and is awarded in recognition of a significant contribution to General Practice.
Most people need to see a doctor occasionally, especially as they get older. With the pressures facing the NHS, many patients are naturally choosing private care. What differentiates us from some other private medical clinics?
⭐️ Our GPs offer top-quality, evidence-based care. We pride ourselves on our ethical approach, and we aim to only offer tests and treatments which have a robust evidence base. We won’t try to sell you tests and treatments that you don’t need.
⭐️ We have a female and a male GP, so whatever your preference, we can help.
⭐️ We don’t try to sell you expensive monthly membership packages – you just pay for the care you need (a standard GP appointment with us is £120).
⭐️ We don’t try to sell you expensive “screening”, “well woman”, or “well man” test packages – research evidence shows that one-size-fits-all screening doesn’t actually work! If you’re worried about your health and feel you need a check-up or MOT, you should book a standard GP appointment – we will have a chat to you and find out all about your worries, your symptoms, your lifestyle, and your family history, and then we can arrange only the specific tests that are appropriate for you.
⭐️ We are a small family business (a husband-and-wife team) – we don’t have any investors to keep happy, so we can focus on our priority, which is delivering good, evidence-based care.
