What visitors come to us for
From our clinic on Strøget: acute illness and infections, STI tests, contraception and emergency contraception, prescriptions for medication left at home, and sick notes and fit-to-fly certificates. Everything is in English, prices are fixed, and you get an itemised receipt to claim on your travel insurance.
Your options as a visitor
- Emergencies — call 112. Urgent but not life-threatening: call 1813, the Copenhagen medical helpline, before going to a hospital.
- Everyday illness — infections, UTI, food poisoning, tick bites, prescriptions left at home: a private clinic like YourGP sees you same-day, no CPR needed.
- Pharmacies — a good first stop for minor complaints; Steno Apotek by the Central Station is open 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a CPR number to see you?
No. Book online, bring your passport or ID, and pay by card after the visit.
Will my travel insurance pay?
Most policies reimburse GP visits — you get an itemised receipt straight away. Check your policy’s claim deadline and whether they need a diagnosis code.
Can I get a fit-to-fly or sick note?
Yes, when it is medically justified. See a doctor while you have symptoms and we can issue the certificate the same day.
Should I go to the emergency room?
For anything urgent but not life-threatening, call 1813 first — they direct you to the right place. For life-threatening emergencies, call 112.
