Emergencies

​

Dr Mo Private Clinic is not a walk in clinic or emergency service. If you need urgent medical care, please contact your local NHS healthcare services as appropriate including your local Walk In Centre, 111, 999 or attend the Accident & Emergency department at your local hospital.

​

​

Safe Prescribing

​

We do not commence schedule 1, 2 or 3 drugs. Schedule 4 drugs, if prescribed at the discretion of the doctor, can only be prescribed for the short term and usually as a one off. We do not prescribe certain specialist drugs or desiccated thyroid hormone. Please contact us before booking to see if we can prescribe your medication.

​

​

Repeat Prescriptions

​

Repeat prescriptions can be requested by submitting an online request form which can be found by clicking here– this is priced at £29 and if approved, a maximum of one month of medication can be issued. This can be collected from our prescription box with 24/7 access, please note we are unable to post or fax prescriptions.

 

The repeat prescription service is for existing patients only, and only for medications already prescribed by Dr Mo. If you require more than one month supply of a repeat medication or if you wish to request a new medication or if Dr Mo wishes to review you before authorising a further repeat prescription, then a clinic appointment with Dr Mo would be required.

​

Appointments

​

Longer appointments & extra clinic time:

If you require a longer appointment, please do let us know at the time of booking so we can help accommodate this. Extra clinic appointment time is charged at the same rate as your appointment price including any part thereof e.g. a 35 minute appointment would need to be charged as two appointment fees. If you wish for a longer appointment on the day, but no time is available to extend your appointment, options include waiting or re-booking for a time convenient for you.

​

Payment:

Some services such as telephone consultations, home visits and where items e.g. vaccines have been specially ordered, require payment to be processed at the time of booking. For all other services, payment is required by the end of the appointment. Payment can be made by card or cash.

Running Late:

If you are running late for your appointment, please do let us know as early as possible, and we will do everything we can to accommodate you. However, to avoid impacting other patient's appointments, especially if you are over 5 minutes late, you may be asked to re-book for another time.

​
Follow up:

​​Some services include a period of free aftercare if needed, e.g.  toenail surgery or skin lesion removal. For all other services such as clinic consultations, if post-appointment advice, medical assistance or follow up discussion with Dr Mo is requested, for an existing or a new condition, a further clinic appointment would be required. For a new medication request, a further clinic appointment would be required. Alternatively, you can contact your NHS GP Surgery, 111 or 999 / A&E in an emergency.

​

Clinical Queries by email:

Please note that, unfortunately, we are not able to answer any clinical questions by e-mail or text message. These would need to be discussed with Dr Mo in an appointment.

​​​

Cancellations and Refunds:

An appointment can be cancelled if there is over 24 hours notice. To cancel, click the button 'change/view my appointment' on your booking confirmation email. Cancellations with over 24 hours notice are automatically refunded, less a third party £15 cancellation fee per service/item booked. Unfortunately appointment changes are not able to be made within 24 hours of an appointment and cancellations within 24 hours of an appointment (or non attendance) are non-refundable. Cancellation where items e.g. vaccines have been ordered are also not refundable.
