Two GPs have set up a private clinic inside their surgery to offer patients faster appointments at a cost of £145 a time.
It allows patients to jump the NHS queue and be seen that same day- including Saturdays – rather than waiting four weeks.
They can also benefit from longer consultations of either 20 or 40 minutes as well as x-rays, physiotherapy and vaccinations.
The GPs running the clinic in Bournemouth insist services are only available to patients who aren't already registered at the NHS surgery, as this would be breaking the law.
Under the terms set out in their contracts, family doctors are not allowed to offer private services to their own NHS patients as this would create a conflict of interest.
