Assessment, Testing and Treatment
Our private service provides a focused clinical assessment to determine the cause of your sore throat. Treatment options include analgesia advice, prescription antibiotics when clinically required, or symptomatic care plans. Appointments are confidential and designed for timely relief and clear next steps, with follow-up arranged if symptoms persist or worsen.
What to expect in your consultation
Clinical Consultation Overview
During your visit we take a brief medical history, check for red flags, and perform an oropharyngeal exam. For viral causes we provide symptom control strategies and safety-netting advice. We discuss pain management, hydration, and return-to-work/school guidance. Our clinicians explain when antibiotics are appropriate and issue private prescriptions or sick notes when needed. The goal is prompt relief and preventing complications through personalised care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our private sore throat and tonsillitis service.
When should I seek urgent help?
Seek urgent care for difficulty breathing, severe throat swelling, inability to swallow, drooling, or high fever that doesn’t respond to medication.
Will I get an antibiotic automatically?
No. Antibiotics are prescribed only if clinical assessment and testing indicate a bacterial infection or if complications are suspected.
Can you provide a sick note or fit note?
Yes. If clinically indicated, we can issue private fit notes or documentation for employers and schools.
