KP GP SERVICES :
YOUR PRIVATE GP
Please tell insideKENT a bit about KP GP ; what inspired you to set up the company ? KP GP was inspired by our own experiences . Very early on in my career , I realised that there are limitations to the care that can be provided in the NHS . This fed into a feeling of being unfulfilled , a lack of job satisfaction and being unable to practise preventative medicine which can directly reduce disease and health burden . My wife , who was a local radiographer , has extensive private healthcare experience in London and together we realised a private GP practice is a service the local community needs .
What services do you offer ? We offer GP appointments , prescriptions , travel forms , sick notes , referrals , blood tests and health screening packages .
Which is your most popular service and why do you think that is ? Our most popular service is the face-toface consultations as patients have the opportunity to build a rapport with their doctor . Additionally , the health screening packages are popular which are like a body ‘ MOT ’.
