Your own GP in Dubai. By name. For life.
A named GP is one British-trained family doctor personally responsible for you — the same doctor every visit, one continuous record, direct WhatsApp access. The UK model, delivered privately in Dubai.
A single named British-trained family doctor personally responsible for a patient's primary care — one continuous record, direct WhatsApp access, and coordination of every specialist referral, investigation and long-term condition.

Why a named GP matters more in Dubai than anywhere else
Dubai's healthcare market is built around fee-per-visit clinics and insurance networks that rotate patients between whichever doctor is available. Records fragment across every provider you visit. Long-term conditions get missed. Nobody is personally responsible for you.
A named GP fixes the whole model at once. One doctor. One record. One phone number. Continuity of care is the single most evidence-based improvement any Dubai family can make to their healthcare — associated with lower mortality, fewer hospital admissions and better long-term condition control (BMJ, 2018).
Aafiyah brings the UK NHS named-GP model to Dubai with British-trained family medicine consultants, at our Business Bay clinic or in your home.
Named GP Dubai — common questions
What does 'named GP' mean in Dubai?+
A named GP is one specific family doctor assigned to you by name at sign-up. Every routine consultation, prescription and referral is handled by that same doctor — not whoever is on rota. It is the model that underpins the UK NHS and Western European primary care.
How is a named GP different from the doctor I see at a Dubai clinic?+
Most Dubai clinics rotate you between whichever doctor is available, and your records are split across each clinic you visit. A named GP holds one continuous file, sees you personally every time, and coordinates every specialist referral so nothing falls through the cracks.
Can my named GP look after my whole family?+
Yes. One British-trained named GP can look after adults, children and elderly parents in the same household, with a shared family record accessible at every visit — the household model British families are used to.
How do I contact my named GP between visits?+
Aafiyah members get direct WhatsApp and phone access to their named GP for advice, prescription renewals, test-result questions and referrals — with no call-centre gatekeeper.
What happens if my named GP is on leave?+
Every Aafiyah GP has a named clinical colleague who covers annual leave with full access to your record. You are told in advance who is covering, and your primary GP resumes care the moment they are back.

"Called at 8am with a fever, had a British-trained doctor at my door by 11. He sat with me for 45 minutes — not the 5 minutes I'm used to. Prescription delivered same day. Felt like having a proper GP again."
"We finally have one doctor who knows all of us. The kids actually like going. Follow-up calls happen without us chasing. Worth every dirham."
"The 40+ marker report came back with a real conversation, not a PDF dumped in my inbox. Caught a vitamin deficiency I'd been ignoring for years."
"After surgery I dreaded going back to a hospital for dressings. Their nurse came every other day, the doctor checked in by WhatsApp. Healed faster than I expected."
"Fell ill on day two of our trip. Doctor in the suite within 90 minutes, full assessment, prescription to the hotel pharmacy. Genuinely NHS-standard care in Dubai."
"My father refuses to leave the house. Aafiyah's team comes monthly, manages his medication, and treats him with such dignity. It changed everything for our family."
