Professional athletes and sports professionals operate within margins where physical condition directly determines performance, career and livelihood. Whether you compete at elite level, work in professional sport or train seriously as an amateur, your health requirements are distinct from those of a general patient. The Nine Clinic offers private GP services in London for athletes and sports professionals who need prompt, expert and discreet medical care.
Our clinics on Harley Street and Sloane Square are staffed by doctors who understand the demands of high-performance sport. We provide consultations, health screening, blood tests and specialist referrals without the delays that would cost you time on the pitch, in the pool or on the court.
The physical and mental pressures of competitive sport accumulate over a career. Musculoskeletal complaints, overuse injuries, fatigue, disrupted sleep, nutritional concerns and the psychological weight of performance all require a GP who understands the context. A diagnosis given without regard for your sport, your season or your anti-doping obligations can cause problems that extend well beyond the consultation room.
Our doctors take the time to understand your situation. If you are competing at a level subject to anti-doping regulation, we are mindful of which medications and treatments are permitted under WADA regulations and UKAD requirements. If you require a therapeutic use exemption, we can provide the clinical documentation your governing body requires. You can find a full breakdown of what each consultation covers on our services and fees page.
We see professional athletes, semi-professionals, coaches, performance staff and serious amateur sportspeople across a wide range of disciplines. Consultations cover general health, injury assessment, cardiovascular screening, blood testing, mental wellbeing and travel medicine for international competition. Where specialist input is needed, from a physiotherapist, sports medicine consultant or orthopaedic surgeon, we can arrange referrals through our network promptly.
Pre-season and pre-competition health checks are available for individuals. For clubs and sporting organisations looking to provide structured healthcare for their squads or staff, our corporate GP services in London offer a practical framework for ongoing support.
Privacy is a genuine clinical requirement for many of our patients. At The Nine Clinic, confidentiality is not a policy statement; it is simply how we practise. Our Harley Street and Sloane Square clinics are calm, professional environments where patients are not recognised, photographed or approached. High-profile athletes can attend knowing that their health information remains entirely private.
To arrange an appointment, call 020 3084 1600 or email info@thenineclinic.com. Same-day consultations are available.
Our doctors are familiar with WADA regulations and UKAD requirements, as well as the rules of major sport governing bodies. If you need a therapeutic use exemption for a prescribed medication, we can carry out the clinical assessment and provide the supporting documentation required. We recommend discussing this well in advance of any competition.
Yes. Cardiovascular screening, including ECG and relevant blood panels, is available at both our Harley Street and Sloane Square clinics. Cardiac health is particularly relevant for athletes training at high intensity, and our doctors can advise on appropriate screening for your age, sport and level of activity.
Same-day appointments are available Monday to Friday at both clinic locations. For urgent concerns outside of clinic hours, out-of-hours cover is available through our partnership with The London General Practice.
Yes. Our GPs can carry out fitness assessments and provide written clearance reports for your club, governing body or insurer. We can also coordinate with your existing medical team, physiotherapist or specialist to ensure a consistent clinical picture.
