Ready Health, an independent private clinic in Standish

Ready Health is an independent private medical clinic based in Standish, in the Wigan area. It presents itself as a local-led, affordable alternative for patients who do not want to wait for care, and states that it aims to see patients within 24 hours. The clinic combines private clinician appointments with health tests, scans, vaccinations, talking therapies and a range of minor procedures, and it also offers digital and home appointments where appropriate.

Its model is built around choice: patients can pay as they go for individual appointments or take out a membership, which the clinic advertises from £39 per month. Memberships are described as including GP, mental health and physio services, and home visits are listed at £199.

Appointments and consultant-led care

The core offer is access to a GP or other clinician, either as a one-off appointment or through a membership.
