What the phone looks like for a London private GP clinic
London and the wider Greater London has a population of around 9.7 million, built on professional services, hospitality and an enormous base of independent trades serving them. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a private GP clinic working across the City, Camden and Croydon most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
People pay privately precisely because they do not want to wait, and a phone that rings out is the thing they are paying to avoid.
Callwise answers on your own 020 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.
When London calls go unanswered
- first thing, when everyone rings at once
- lunchtime, the only window a working patient has
- evenings and Sundays, when symptoms get worse
What London callers want
- a same day appointment because the NHS wait is too long
- a medical for work, travel or a visa
- blood tests and how fast results come back

London private GP clinics ask us
Do we keep our 020 number?
Yes. Your existing 020 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how London customers reach you changes.
Do you work with private GP clinics outside London?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so London and everywhere across Greater London is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Is it safe for it to answer medical calls?
It gives no clinical advice at all and says it is an assistant when it picks up. It books, takes details and escalates. Anything symptomatic goes to a clinician.
Can it take payment or deposits?
It quotes your fees and can send a payment link after the call. It does not read card numbers over the phone.
What happens with a caller who sounds seriously unwell?
You define the escalation list. Anything on it stops the booking flow, tells the caller to seek urgent care in your own words, and alerts you immediately.
Private GP clinics elsewhere
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a London customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
