    Healthcare on Your Terms

    GP-Plus is a first-class Private GP, Occupational andComplementary Medical service centre. We operate ona pay-as-you-go basis and offer same-day, unhurried

    GP appointments between 08.00 and 20.00, each weekday.GP-Plus can be used now and again or exclusively as anadd-on (or piggy-back) option to complement any existingNHS (or other) service or registrati on. We do not replaceNHS GP registration and there is no out-of-hours service(we promote NHS GP registration(when appropriate), even if this is a service that you do not intend to use).

    Your consent can be given to have a report sent to whereveryour usual medical records are kept (or simply remain withinGP-Plus) to keep everything up-to-date.

    GP-Plus works hand in hand with an extensive network of specialists and allied healthcare professionals (AHPs) on aself-pay and health insurance basis. This network can extendto national and international providers to suit particularneeds and circumstances.

    GP-Plus was established in Edinburgh by Dr. Peter Copp at the

    turn of the new millennium and has proven to be very popularwith local business executives, residents, commuters, tourists,visitors and delegates alike. Their needs can be very differentbut are underpinned by our focus on key areas of convenience,choice, quality of consultation and good old-fashionedpersonal service.

    We encourage you to help us by arriving at least 5 minutesbefore your appointment time to complete our detailedregistration form (which can also be downloaded anytimefrom the home-page of our website).

    Complex information can be obtained from medical recordselsewhere, with your consent, to suit particular circumstances(e.g. second-opinion work).

    Our VitalSigns HealthCheck programme pays more than lipservice to your unique needs when it comes to the provisionof comprehensive medical check-ups. These are high-quality

    (low-volume) activities for the discerning client who valuesprotected, unhurried doctor time with an in-built opportunityfor a debriefing session after receiving their detailed andpersonally focused report. This follow-up is an ideal venueto be pro-active with intervention in key action areas, ratherthan just passing you and the report on to another doctor.

    Our detailed VitalSigns Assessment Proforma (VAP) can alsobe downloaded and printed from, or submitted directly onour secure website.

    Our interest extends well beyond the traditional approachesto risk management and can include tests and scanning at thecutting edge of early detection and screening. This is especiallyimportant in the rapidly changing disciplines of Cancer andHeart disease.

    In this respect, GP-Plus has forged a close relationship withadvanced scanning centres in the UK who offer access to

    outstanding early detection technology. These tests are wellcomplemented by our guidance, interpretation and follow-up.

    Details of our VitalSigns programme are on our website (orsimply ask us for a brochure).
