Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can be treated through the MIA service?
Our MIA service treats a wide range of minor illnesses and ailments including colds, flu, sore throats, earaches, minor skin conditions, urinary tract infections, minor injuries, stomach upsets, and other non-emergency health concerns that require prompt attention.
What’s the difference between seeing an ANP and a GP for minor illness?
Both our Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) and GPs are highly qualified to diagnose and treat minor illnesses. ANPs have specialist training in minor illness management and can prescribe medications, order tests, and provide sick notes just like GPs. The choice often depends on availability and your specific needs.
How quickly can I get a MIA appointment in Glasgow?
We often have same-day or next-day appointments available for our MIA service. You can book instantly online or by calling our clinic. We understand that minor illnesses can be uncomfortable and aim to see you as soon as possible.
Can I get prescriptions and sick notes from a MIA appointment?
Yes, both our ANPs and GPs can provide prescriptions for medications when clinically appropriate, as well as sick notes and fit-for-work certificates if needed. This is all included in your MIA appointment fee, however, as a private prescription is issued, you need to pay for the medication at the pharmacy.
How much does a MIA appointment cost?
A MIA appointment costs from £60 for a 15-20 minute consultation. This includes your consultation, any prescriptions issued, sick notes if required, and follow-up advice. There are no hidden fees or additional charges.
When should I use the MIA service instead of A&E or my NHS GP?
Use our MIA service for non-emergency conditions that need prompt attention but aren’t life threatening. It’s ideal when you can’t get a timely NHS GP appointment or when you need quick professional assessment for symptoms like persistent cough, minor infections, or concerning but non-urgent symptoms.
Will you refer me to a specialist if needed?
Absolutely. If during your MIA appointment we determine that specialist care is needed, our ANPs and GPs can provide referrals to appropriate specialists. We’ll ensure you receive the right level of care for your condition and can coordinate your ongoing treatment.
