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.
