One clinic in 2011. Six now, run the same way.
Ostrey started as a single GP surgery in a Marylebone mews. It has grown one clinic at a time, and only where we could keep the things patients told us mattered.
Our story
Started by two GPs who wanted longer appointments.
Dr Alan Whitcombe and a fellow GP opened the Marylebone clinic in 2011 with three consulting rooms and one rule: no appointment shorter than fifteen minutes. The rule is still there, and Alan still holds three clinics a week.
The City clinic followed in 2014 for people who needed to be seen before work. Clapham, Richmond, St Albans and Guildford came later, each chosen because patients were already travelling to us from there.
Every clinic shares one booking system, one patient record and one price list, so you can see a GP in Clapham and follow up with a physiotherapist in Guildford without starting again.

Clinical standards
How we keep six clinics to one standard.
- 01
Every clinician is registered and checked
Doctors are on the GMC register with a licence to practise, physiotherapists with the HCPC and nurses with the NMC. We check registration, indemnity and appraisal every year.
- 02
One patient record
Notes, results and letters are in one secure record, whichever clinic you visit. You can see your summaries and results in your patient account.
- 03
Audit, not assumption
Our medical director reviews a sample of consultations every month across all six clinics, and the findings go back to every clinician, not just the one audited.
- 04
We share with your NHS GP
With your permission we send a summary of every visit to your NHS GP, so your records stay complete.
For employers
Health care for your team, near where they live and work.
Six clinics across London and the commuter belt mean most teams have one within half an hour of home or the office.
GP access
Same-day GP appointments for your staff, in clinic or by video, billed monthly to you.
Health checks
Core, Advanced or Complete checks for the whole team, with early-morning lists at City.
Physiotherapy
Fast access to physiotherapy for back, neck and desk-related problems.
