Aberdeen‑based private medical practice AberGP is offering rapid access to GP appointments for patients seeking support with mental health concerns, including stress, anxiety and burnout.
Based in Aberdeen’s west end, AberGP provides flexible appointment options, extended consultation times and access to remote consultations, allowing patients to discuss complex or sensitive issues without the delays often associated with traditional routes into care.
General practitioners are frequently the first point of contact for individuals experiencing mental health difficulties. Timely access to a GP appointment can support early identification of concerns, initial management and, where appropriate, referral to further services.
The AberGP team, which has launched a new private general practice in Aberdeen’s west end.
Dr Laura Thomson, GP at AberGP and Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen, said: “Early access to a GP can make a meaningful difference in how mental health concerns are managed. Having sufficient time in an appointment allows symptoms to be explored properly and support to be offered at an earlier stage.”
The availability of prompt GP appointments also has implications for local employers. Mental‑health‑related absence continues to affect workforce wellbeing and productivity, and early access to primary care can help employees seek support before issues escalate.
AberGP continues to focus on providing accessible, patient‑centred primary care services for individuals across Aberdeen and the surrounding area.
