Private GP · Cancer care · West London

A private GP for the space between your oncology appointments.

Anchora is a private GP practice in West London for patients in active cancer treatment and the survivorship years that follow. One named doctor holds the clinical thread between your oncology appointments, and supports the people around you. It is not an oncology service, and not a replacement for your oncologist.

Care that holds.

The space between

Most private oncology in London is built around the oncologist and the treatment regimen. The space between appointments is rarely held by anyone in particular: the symptom call on a Thursday evening, the second-opinion question that arrives unannounced, the phlebotomy that has to be coordinated across two hospitals, the family briefing the partner needs but does not know how to ask for, the first six months after discharge when the surveillance scans begin and the fear of recurrence has nowhere to go. Anchora exists to hold it.

3.5 million

people in the UK are living with cancer in 2025, up from almost 3 million in 2020 — the highest figure ever recorded.

Three things we hold

During treatment Weekly clinical support through active chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy: symptom and side-effect management, escalation when it is needed, and liaison with your treating oncologist.

Read more → For your family Cancer treatment happens to a household, not only to a patient. We include the partner or adult child in the work, in person or by video, with the patient present and consenting. Read more →

One doctor who knows your whole story

About Dr Gastaldi

What Anchora is not

Anchora is a GP practice with a specialism in cancer and palliative care — not an oncology service. It does not provide chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or surgery; those belong to your oncologist. It is not a wellness practice, a cosmetic clinic, a weight-loss service, or a general family practice. It does one thing: cancer wraparound and survivorship.

With your oncologist, not instead of

Your oncologist owns the treatment plan. Anchora holds the clinical layer between appointments and coordinates around it. We write to your oncologist, not over them.
