Where can I get a good health check privately?

I will try to keep it short. What are good private places to have someone actually listen to the symptoms I suffer with and then give me all the tests and scans for things they most likely think it is? I can realistically save about £2500 in 5-8 months to fund it. My biggest problem is actually having the consultant listen for long enough (more than 5 minutes) to get a proper understanding of my problems. Or even if they just want it in bullet pointed list and then ask me some follow-up questions. I just need to get a consultancy where I don't have to be back again constantly because something simple was missed when it's staring them in the face.

I am not including the GPs and consultants who were just arrogant bastards and it's plain medical neglect.

If you care about why...

I am slowly being diagnosed with more and more conditions but it's taking decades, and my health is declining a lot. I am a shell of my former self.

Every time they give me a new diagnosis, I am hopeful and start doing reading to understand more, only not to see some major symptoms I struggle with but I choose to believe "not every symptom is common". Then I join support groups and I see people going "oh yes, this is a really common co-occurring condition/these symptom combinations are really common for x, y and z.". Then I have to go through the dehumanising process of being treated like a hypochondriac to get more tests before they finally see it in the tests for 1-4 more years. Wash and repeat.

I cannot even enjoy a walk without fear, I love nature and being out and about and now I have to plan it as if I were doing a space mission to the moon. Doing my bloody groceries is a game of Russian roulette. It's a miserable living.
