A private GP practice should have: - An efficient helpful reception with good appointment availability
- Doctors who are rated highly by patients and colleagues and who keep up with the latest developments
- A willingness to approach each case with an open mind
- Ability to work within the patient’s requirements and values and to take into account practical considerations as well as medical ones
- Sufficient time for the doctors to work to the best of their ability
- The best equipment and resources
- The best possible referral network of top doctors and hospitals with strong relationships to provide the best access when required
- Availability when required.
Doctorcall has been running since 1989 and has grown year-on-year since it started. Most of the top GP practices use Doctorcall for their out-of-hours cover, and endorsement of which we are justifiably proud. We are also recommended by many high-end organisations who value our service.
Doctorcall is the only GP practice that has its own 24/7 visiting doctor service that can provide cover at all times. We have developed a very strong referral network and we are able access the best secondary care at the shortest possible notice. Our reputation is strong and our referrals are accepted at face value so if we say it is urgent, we get action.
We moved our London clinic to the Harley Street campus several years ago in order to have the best specialists and testing facilities on our doorstep. Patients can book 15-minute consultations for simple problems or longer ones. Our standard consultation other than for simple problems is 30 minutes.
In many settings, doctors become stale as a result of practising formulaic medicine. By approaching everything as a new challenge with an open mind, we keep focused and we are able to tailor our patients’ treatment to their needs. Through working in the Harley Street campus we are able to keep up with the latest treatments and ideas. Keep our number in case anyone should ever need it, or better still try us!

It’s quite true; there is no business like it.
This week sees the launch of the Manchester International Festival: a bi-annual celebration where artists from all walks of life showcase their talents in an 18 day extravaganza. Because of our links in the past with theatre companies, musical theatre, film and media, City Physio and Doctorcall have been asked to look after the performers for this year’s festival. Check out this years line up and get out and do something less boring instead…

We’re only just past mid summer night and the year has been more like a dream than a Shakey one (groan). Our staff was fortunate enough to look after The Lion King when it came to town. When their regular physio was taken ill for a month, Bob and Nick stepped into the breach to work with their performers pre-show and help them with any rehabilitation that was necessary. Having seen the show (perk), it’s no wonder they had some of the problems they presented with. A fine piece of entertainment too. Even if I nearly taught the kids a few new words when the hyena unexpectedly pounced on me from behind!
We have supported The Royal Exchange for over 10 years now. It can sometimes be quite a challenge to keep the actor in their role despite their ailment. It’s true that they will act with almost any level of pain. The show really does go on. Although in this job it does seem a little inappropriate to suggest that they “break a leg”.
“Here at the Royal Exchange Theatre we have engaged the services of Doctorcall and City Physio for a number of years. The staff is extremely tuned in to the way we work and the environment of live theatre – this can be very hard to come by. In addition, the standard of service is first class and positive results are always seen. The central location is also key to the success of Doctorcall, precious time in the schedule of an actor isn’t wasted by driving out of town. Nick Syrett and the staff care about their patients which is key for me.”
Lee Drinkwater- Company Manager @ The Royal Exchange.
Nick even “consulted” on a small piece during Orpheus Descending whilst on at the Royal Exchange. There was a scene in which one of the actors had the lead in an osteopathic “clinch”. The director wanted some authenticity on the technique so we got the call. Not your typical day…
This November, the highly acclaimed “War Horse” comes to town for 3 months at The Lowry. Nick was asked to assess the physical health of some of its actors in preparation for the 18 month tour. Any ready for the Knackers yard need not apply…
This year has also seen us look after The Stone Roses as part of the UK leg of their World tour. Proof that physio can be Rock n Roll. Of course, we don’t just see A-listers here. All are welcome. But if you think we have become a little more theatrical and dramatic about things since you last saw us, you know why.
