Private GP
A GP for children, the same week
Fever, earache, coughs and rashes. We see children in Lurgan from £70, with a parent or guardian present. We are not a paediatric A&E.
Alongside the NHS, not instead of it. Keep your NHS GP. Call 999 in an emergency. Friends Medical GP is for planned private appointments and home visits that are not emergencies.
Cough and chest infection
A cough that has gone past a cold, green sputum, a wheeze, or a temperature that will not settle is a common reason people book a private GP. You get time, a chest examination, and a decision about inhalers, antibiotics, steroids, or tests.
Sore throat and tonsillitis
A sore throat that stops you swallowing, talking or sleeping is miserable. Tonsillitis, glandular fever lookalikes, and simple viral throats all walk through the same door. The job is to examine you, rule out the dangerous causes, and treat what we find.
Earache and ear infections
Ear pain in a child at 7pm, or a blocked ear that will not clear after a cold, is a classic private GP booking. We look in the ear, decide if this is infection, wax, or something else, and treat it accordingly.
Skin rashes and infections
A new rash, an eczema flare, or a spreading red area on the leg is easier to sort when someone actually looks at it. We see skin in clinic, take photos into the notes if useful, and refer to dermatology at Friends Medical Service when the next step is a specialist, not a second guess.
Children's infections
A child who is hot, not drinking, or up all night with an ear is why parents look for a private GP. We see children in Lurgan, examine them, and give you a plan you can follow at 2am. We are not a paediatric emergency department.
Hay fever and allergies
Hay fever can look like a cold that lasts all summer. Hives, swollen eyelids and a blocked nose that wrecks sleep are worth a proper plan: the right antihistamine, a steroid spray used properly, and a look at whether this is allergy or something else.
