You can pay to to see the English Dr. Karen Whittaker, in Los Cristianos, right by the Arona Gran hotel (along from the sunday market) 922 798 226 appointments.
As far as I know she does not do call outs or weekends, open from 9am - 1pm weekdays
She is registered to practice here, a very nice lady, a consultation is 30 ish Euros.
Most minor things can be treated via a pharmacy here to be honest, you can buy much here you cannot without prescription in the UK.
If it is more serious you have your health card.
I would recommend Sanitas if you wish to pay for private healthcare, they are 'Bupa' in the Uk, as Janet says they do not quibble, you can go direct to buy your policy so cutting out middle men fees, they speak English.
