Dr Nick Plowman

Transparency under the CMA Order 2014

All private healthcare operators are required under the Competition and Markets Authority Order 2014 (“The CMA Order”) to be transparent about the relationship between their doctor and the private healthcare operator. Therefore, prospective patients should be aware that (in addition to being permitted to consult with and to treat patients at our facilities) this doctor also has an advisory role with HCA UK and is paid by HCA UK for this advisory role. We describe the nature of the role below, and we indicate how much the doctor has been paid for performing the role since 1 January 2023

Dr Plowman is Chief Medical Advisor to The Harley Street Clinic’s Robotic Radiosurgery Centre. In this role, Dr Plowman advises in supervising clinical activities and in conforming to establishing quality of care standards.

In this role, he chairs a Medical Advisory Committee on a quarterly basis which provides oversight of the quality and clinical initiatives at the Centre.

HCA UK is charged by doctors in return for their expertise and advice, including on how to operate safe hospital facilities delivering complex care. All services provided under this agreement are charged to HCA UK. In 2023 the total paid for these services was £49,999.

If a doctor provides HCA UK with medical advisory services and also practises in the NHS, HCA UK requires that doctor to attest that he/she is not compromising his/her NHS commitments in so doing.
