Our private service provides a focused clinical assessment to determine the cause of your sore throat. We perform a targeted throat examination and, where indicated, rapid testing for strep and other infections. Treatment options include analgesia advice, prescription antibiotics when clinically required, or symptomatic care plans. We also advise on complications that need urgent attention and offer expedited referrals for ENT review. Appointments are confidential and designed for timely relief and clear next steps, with follow-up arranged if symptoms persist or worsen.

During your visit we take a brief medical history, check for red flags, and perform an oropharyngeal exam. If bacterial infection is suspected, a rapid antigen test or throat swab may be done. 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.

Our contrasting private pathway prioritises speed and clarity. You receive one-to-one time with an experienced clinician who will explain findings and recommend treatment tailored to you. Rapid antigen tests or swabs help target therapy appropriately. If your symptoms suggest complications such as peritonsillar abscess or airway risk, we arrange urgent ENT assessment. We also provide documentation for employers or schools and clear safety-net guidance for worsening symptoms. The aim is effective relief, quick recovery, and clear follow-up plans.
