Self-Pay FAQ

Do I need a GP referral for private treatment?

You can get private treatment from a consultant without being referred by your GP. However, it is recommended that you be referred by your GP as they know your medical history and can advise you if a referral is necessary.

Can I get a referral privately instead of going to an NHS GP?

Yes, we have a Private GP service and offer same-day appointments so you can get a referral quickly.

If I pay for private treatment, will my NHS care be affected?

If you choose to pay for private care you will still be eligible for free NHS care.

If I’ve had an NHS consultation but don’t want to wait for treatment, can I be seen privately?

Yes, your NHS consultant can refer you for private treatment. As some of our consultants also work for the NHS, you may be able to stay with the same consultant.
