GP Consultation

Most people book it after a blood test: every Goodbody test comes with a written GP report, and the consultation is for going further, understanding what a borderline or abnormal result means in your situation, whether a repeat test or a different test would help, and what to say to your own GP. It is also available for general health questions where you want a doctor's opinion without an NHS wait. It is a conversation with a GP, not a substitute for your registered practice.

Book and pay online. We send you a booking link to choose an appointment time, in most cases the same week. At the agreed time the GP calls you on the number you give. Have your test results, a list of any medication and your questions ready. The GP discusses your situation, gives their assessment and advice, and sets out what to do next, which may include a further test, a visit to your own GP, or nothing at all.

A UK GP registered with the General Medical Council and experienced in interpreting the laboratory tests Goodbody offers. Goodbody GPs write the reports that accompany every test, so the doctor you speak to understands exactly what your results show and how they were produced.

£59.99 for a telephone consultation, with no membership or subscription. Private GP appointments in the UK typically cost £60 to £120 for 15 to 20 minutes in person, and online GP services £30 to £80 per call, often with a monthly fee.

The GP can recommend further tests, which you can book with Goodbody, and can write a referral letter if you need to see a specialist, which you can take to your own GP or use for a private referral. The Goodbody GP does not prescribe; prescriptions and ongoing care remain with your registered GP, and the Goodbody GP will make clear when you need to see them.

Your GP report already explains any abnormal result and what to do about it, and for most people that is enough. Book a consultation if you want to discuss the result in more detail, if several markers are out of range and you want help prioritising, if you are unsure whether to see your own GP, or if you want to plan follow-up testing. If your report says to see a doctor urgently, do that first rather than waiting for a consultation.

Yes. If you are unsure which of Goodbody's tests fits your symptoms or concern, a GP can talk it through and recommend the right one, so you do not pay for markers you do not need or miss the one that matters.

No. For chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe bleeding, suspected stroke or any emergency call 999. For urgent but non-emergency problems contact NHS 111 or your own GP practice. This consultation is arranged by appointment and is for discussion and advice, not urgent care.

Yes, if you have had a Goodbody test, the GP can review your results and report before the call. Have your report to hand during the call too, along with any relevant NHS results or medication list, so the conversation covers your full picture.

The call is long enough to go through a set of results and your questions properly; if your situation needs more time, the GP will say so and a further consultation can be booked. Come with your questions written down so nothing is missed.

Only if you want them to be. The consultation is confidential. The Goodbody GP will tell you what, if anything, to take to your own GP, and you can share your Goodbody report and the consultation advice with them; many people do, because it speeds up the NHS conversation.

Quickly. When you book you receive a link to choose your appointment slot, and in most cases an appointment is available the same week.
