3 rated Good, and 5 without a published rating. Ratings are set by the Care Quality Commission and can change after each inspection.
Yes. 1 listed clinic offers NHS care. Check each clinic's listing for how to access its NHS services.
Usually yes — a referral from a GP (NHS or private) is common and helps the consultant understand your history, though some clinics accept self-referral. If you have private medical insurance, check whether a referral and pre-authorisation are required.
Consultants should be on the GMC's specialist register for their field, which you can check on the General Medical Council website. The clinic or hospital should also be registered with and rated by the Care Quality Commission.
Yes. You might see a consultant privately for a faster assessment and then continue treatment on the NHS, or vice versa. Good clinics will share information with your GP, with your consent, so your care stays joined up.
