COVID-19 has affected all of our lives, whether through illness, stress, or changes in daily routines. At Pinehill Hospital, our dedicated General Practitioners (GPs) are here to offer you fast, personalised support — whether you’re worried about COVID-19 symptoms, recovering from infection, or looking after your long-term health.
What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which spreads through droplets and can affect your lungs, immune system, and other organs. Symptoms range from mild (fever, cough, tiredness) to severe (breathing difficulties, chest pain). Some people continue to feel unwell weeks or months later — a condition known as long COVID.
How Our Private GPs Can Help You
Our private GPs are fully qualified and experienced in managing COVID-related health concerns. They provide quick access, longer appointments, and personalised care to help you stay on top of your health during these challenging times.
Fast Access if You’re Feeling Unwell
If you're experiencing COVID-like symptoms or feeling unsure:
- Same-day or next-day appointments (in person or by phone)
- Clear advice on symptoms, isolation, and when to seek hospital care
- Sick notes for work or travel
We’re here to help you feel reassured and supported.
Support for Long COVID & Ongoing Symptoms
Still feeling tired or unwell after COVID? You're not alone. Our GPs can support your recovery with:
- Ongoing monitoring of symptoms like fatigue, “brain fog”, chest pain or shortness of breath
- Blood tests, heart and lung checks, or scans — available quickly through our private diagnostics
- Tailored treatment and recovery plans
- Specialist referrals (e.g., cardiology, respiratory, neurology or mental health) if needed
Mental Health & Emotional Support
The after effects of Covid can increase anxiety, stress, sleep problems and low mood for many people. If you’re struggling, we offer:
- A safe, confidential space to talk
- Help managing anxiety, depression, or burnout
- Medication support (if appropriate)
- Referral to private counselling or therapy
We care about your emotional well-being as much as your physical health.
Private Referrals & Diagnostic Testing — Fast
Need answers fast? Our GPs can:
- Refer you to private specialists without long waiting times
- Arrange private blood tests, ECGs, X-rays, and scans
- Provide second opinions and explain your options
- We also offer a range of health screening packages to try and diagnose conditions which have no symptoms for example, diabetes, some heart conditions and high blood pressure.
No lengthy delays — just fast, friendly and focused care.
General Healthcare Coordination
A private GP ensures that COVID-19-related issues are considered within the context of your overall health:
- Reviewing the potential interaction of COVID-19 with pre-existing conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease).
- Adjusting regular medication as necessary during or after an infection.
- Providing ongoing, holistic care addressing both physical and mental health concerns.
