Invest in your health
We understand many of our patients may be accessing private healthcare for the first time – that’s why we aim to keep our pricing simple, open, and fair.
If you don’t have health insurance you can still access private care. Secure the treatment that works for you with our fixed price packages available across many of our services.
If a fixed price is not appropriate due to the complexity of the procedure, our reservations team can provide a tailored quote for the cost of your consultation or treatment.
We have direct arrangements with many of the UK’s leading private health insurers including Bupa, AXA and Aviva.
If you have UK private health insurance, please tell us when you book and provide details of your insurance company and policy number. We will use this information to invoice your insurer directly.
