About Novera

Personal Medicine,
Practised Properly

We are a team of consultants, GPs and nurses who left the ten-minute appointment behind to build the clinic we always wanted to send our own families to.

Our mission is simple: give every patient the time, the honesty and the continuity that good medicine has always needed. One doctor who knows you, a plan you understand, and no rush toward the door.

Our Story

Founded to Restore
the Unhurried Visit

Novera began with a waiting room, a whiteboard and a shared frustration. It grew into three London clinics and a promise we have never broken.

The Idea

Ten Minutes Was
Never Enough

Our founders, a GP and a cardiologist, kept meeting the same patients: people whose real problems only surfaced in the last minute of a rushed appointment. They decided to start again from the schedule up.

Every Novera consultation is booked for forty-five minutes. We never double-book, never rush a diagnosis, and never email a result we could explain in person. That single decision shapes everything else we do.

What We Stand For

Principles That
Never Bend

Four commitments guide every appointment, every referral and every price we publish. They are the reason patients stay with us for decades.

Listening First

A diagnosis begins with a conversation. We ask, we wait, and we let you finish before we reach for a prescription pad.

Radical Transparency

Fixed, published pricing and results explained in plain language. No hidden extras, no surprises on the invoice.

Real Continuity

The same clinician, every visit. Your doctor knows your history because they lived it with you, not because they skimmed a file.

Evidence, Not Upsell

We only recommend the tests and treatments you actually need. An honest no is worth more than a convenient yes.

By the Numbers

A Decade of
Patient Care

The figures we care about are the ones patients feel: more time, faster answers, and care that stays with you.
