Private Functional Medicine Consultations
A longer consultation covering diet, sleep, stress and lifestyle alongside testing.
A longer appointment that looks at sleep, diet, stress and daily patterns alongside conventional testing. It suits people whose symptoms are real but whose standard tests keep coming back normal. It is not an alternative to medicine, and we are clear about where the evidence is thin.

- Same-day at many locations

- Experienced, GMC-registered doctors

Book your functional medicine appointment Without The Wait
Some health problems do not fit neatly into a ten minute appointment. Persistent fatigue, digestive symptoms, weight that will not shift, poor sleep and low mood often have several contributing factors, and untangling them takes time that standard appointments rarely allow.
A functional medicine consultation gives you that time. Your doctor takes a detailed history covering your symptoms, diet, sleep, stress, activity and family history, reviews any previous test results, and arranges further investigations where clinically appropriate. You then get a clear, practical plan. Where a conventional diagnosis and treatment is the right answer, we will say so, and this service sits alongside conventional medical care rather than replacing it.

What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is an approach to consultation rather than a separate branch of medicine. It means taking a longer, more detailed history that considers how diet, sleep, stress, activity, hormones, medical history and genetics interact, and then building a plan that addresses the contributing factors rather than only the presenting symptom.
At Private Medical Clinic it is delivered by GMC registered doctors, within a CQC registered service, and it sits alongside conventional medicine rather than in opposition to it. That means investigations are chosen because they are clinically indicated, conventional diagnoses are made and treated where they apply, and you are referred on if you need a specialist. It also means being straightforward about the limits: an approach that considers lifestyle carefully is valuable, but it does not replace established treatment for a diagnosed condition, and you should be cautious of anyone who tells you otherwise.
Functional Medicine vs NHS GP: What's The Difference?
| Functional Medicine | NHS GP | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Ask at your appointment | Free at point of use on the NHS |
| Typical Wait | Same day or within days | Days to weeks |
| Appointment Length | Unhurried, no strict limit | About 10 minutes |
| Focus | The whole picture, including lifestyle and history | Usually the presenting problem |
| History taken | Detailed, covering diet, sleep, stress and activity | Focused on the current issue |
| Testing | Arranged where clinically appropriate, discussed with you first | As clinically indicated |
This service does not replace your GP, and it does not replace treatment you have been prescribed. Using it does not affect your NHS registration.
Functional Medicine FAQs
A longer, more detailed consultation that considers how your diet, sleep, stress, activity, hormones and medical history interact, delivered by a GMC-registered doctor, and used alongside conventional medicine rather than instead of it.
Commonly persistent fatigue, digestive symptoms, weight concerns, poor sleep and feeling generally run down. Serious causes are investigated conventionally where indicated.
You receive a written plan, any agreed investigations are arranged, and a follow up appointment is booked to review progress and adjust the plan.
No. Any change to prescribed treatment is a decision for the doctor who prescribed it, and we would discuss it with you and them rather than advise you to stop.
Mainly in time and breadth. A standard appointment focuses on the presenting problem. This consultation covers the whole picture and produces a written plan with follow up. The medicine itself is still evidence based, and conventional diagnosis and treatment are used where they apply.
Yes, a preventative review is a common reason to book, particularly alongside a health check or Super Screen bloods.
No, you can book directly.
