Private GP & Health Screening in Stockport

Private GPs in Stockport

HealthWise lists 3 private GP services in Stockport, and two of them hold a CQC rating of Good. All three are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and the General Medical Council (GMC) is the register for their doctors. They're in three different postcode districts: SK1, SK7 and SK8.

The Stockport private GP listings

• The Private GP Service, Gatley Green Surgery, Cheadle, SK8 4NQ. CQC rating: Good, from an inspection in January 2020.
• International House, Pepper Road, SK7 5BW. CQC rating: Good, from an inspection in March 2017.
• Viaduct Care CIC (Headquarters), SK1 1PN. CQC registered, with no rating in our data.

Both ratings are from inspections several years old, so read the full report on the CQC website before you book. You can see every Stockport clinic, filtered by category, on our Stockport clinics directory.

What the CQC ratings mean

CQC uses four ratings. In its own words:

• Outstanding: the service is performing exceptionally well.
• Good: the service is performing well and meeting CQC's expectations.
• Requires improvement: the service isn't performing as well as it should, and CQC has told it how it must improve.
• Inadequate: the service is performing badly, and CQC has taken action against the organisation that runs it.

A rating is a snapshot from the date of inspection. The date matters as much as the rating itself.

Private GP or NHS GP

A private GP is a doctor you pay to see directly. Before booking, ask the clinic:

• what the consultation fee covers, including any tests or follow-up
• whether it will share a summary with your NHS GP, with your consent
• how prescriptions and referrals work

HealthWise doesn't publish private GP prices, because fees are set by each clinic and change.

What to check before you book

• CQC rating and report. Check the rating, the inspection date and the full report on the CQC website.
• GMC registration. The General Medical Council keeps free public registers of UK doctors. You can search a doctor by name or GMC number to see their registration status, including whether they're on the GP register.
• What's included. Get the fee and what it covers in writing before your appointment.

A private GP isn't an emergency service. For an urgent medical problem, use NHS 111. If you have signs of a life-threatening illness, call 999. Read our private GP guide for more background. This page is information to help you choose a clinic, not medical advice.
