Private healthcare can be paid for in two main ways: self-pay or through private health insurance. Our guide takes you through these payment options, so you feel prepared before your visit.
Frequently asked questions
You can book directly with each of our centres by phone or email, and you may also be able to book online. You can find contact details for this centre at the top of the page, and more information about becoming a patient on our accessing private healthcare page.
We aim to offer appointments as quickly as possible, and many services have same-day or next-day availability. Waiting times vary depending on the appointment type, specialty, and consultant availability, but our team will always offer the earliest suitable appointment.
Many of our consultants offer virtual consultations or follow-up appointments when clinically appropriate. If you’d prefer a remote appointment, please let the centre know when you get in touch, and they can advise whether it's suitable for your condition. Unfortunately, we’re not able to offer virtual appointments to patients who are overseas.
If you need to bring anything specific, it will be clearly outlined in your appointment email. All our centres offer hot drinks and refreshments in the waiting areas for your comfort.
