It’s why our ground-breaking research is advancing cancer care, making new treatments available sooner. It’s why our focus is not just on your cancer, but on you and everything that matters to you.
Find the right expertise for you
Whether you’re experiencing symptoms of cancer, have a recent diagnosis and are looking at treatment options, looking for a second opinion, or are trying to find a consultant – we’re here for you.
Experiencing symptoms
If you’re concerned about symptoms and looking for a diagnosis, we’re here to help. Get fast access to GP appointments, the latest tests and scans and specialist clinics.
Confirmed diagnosis of cancer
If you already have a diagnosis and are looking for private cancer treatment, we’ll unite a team of experts who specialise in your cancer to lead your care. You can choose your lead consultant, who will personally oversee your care.
Looking for a second opinion
If you already have a diagnosis, have a recommended treatment plan or have started treatment, a second opinion can provide reassurance, identify additional treatment options and help you make informed decisions about your care.
Cancer care at HCA UK
Care built around your needs
Every treatment plan is as individual as you are. We take time to understand your diagnosis, your personal concerns and what matters most to you and those close to you.
Your care will be led by your chosen consultant, and supported by your named clinical nurse specialist, who will be there to guide and support you and your loved ones throughout your experience.
When you choose HCA UK, you’re choosing a network of leading expertise, advanced treatments and a wealth of experience, so you can have the reassurance that every appropriate treatment option has been considered for you and that we’ll recommend the most effective treatment plan.
You’ll have access to some of the most experienced cancer specialists in the world, who will work together to recommend the best treatment for you.
You can choose the consultant who will lead your care. We have over 300 expert consultants, specialising in different types of cancer, including rare and complex conditions. If you’re unsure who to see, we can help match you with the right expert for your individual diagnosis.
Delivering exceptional cancer treatment and care requires a co-ordinated team approach. Your named consultant will discuss your diagnosis with a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) of cancer experts, whose goal will be to ensure that all treatment options are fully considered, and that you receive the very best treatment recommendation and personalised care plan.
You’ll have a named clinical nurse specialist with expertise in your specific type of cancer. They’re there to offer specialist knowledge, practical guidance and ongoing emotional support throughout your time with us.
You’ll be cared for in state-of-the-art facilities equipped with the latest technology. From advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as robotically assisted surgery to the latest systemic anti-cancer therapies and radiotherapy techniques and technology, you’ll have access to the most advanced care available.
We’re the only private healthcare provider in the UK to operate a dedicated clinical trials facility, the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI). Our consultants work closely with research teams to assess whether a clinical trial may be appropriate for you, offering potential access to emerging treatments.

With access to the complete spectrum of treatments, from well-established therapies to the latest innovations, your team will recommend a personalised treatment plan for your individual diagnosis and personal needs.

Expert cancer surgery
Our consultant surgeons specialise in both routine and complex cancer procedures, including the most advanced surgical techniques using the latest technology.

Precision radiology
Our interventional radiologists use the very latest technology to carry out minimally invasive procedures guided by advanced imaging. This helps them to diagnose or treat certain cancers effectively and with pinpoint accuracy.
Here for you - support and holistic care
We understand that caring for you goes beyond treating your cancer. A diagnosis can affect every part of your life, and we’re here to support you, and those close to you, in the ways that matter most.
Counselling and talking therapies to help you navigate the impact of your diagnosis and treatment.
Physiotherapy, nutritional support and other therapies tailored to your diagnosis and treatment plan.
Treatments such as massage and reflexology, designed to help you relax and feel more comfortable during treatment.
Cancer affects those around you too. That’s why we offer information and support to help your loved ones understand your diagnosis and look after their own emotional wellbeing.
We’ll offer guidance on the day-to-day challenges that can arise during treatment, helping you access the support you need, when you need it.
Our focus on quality
Our commitment to high-quality, person-centred care means that all our hospitals and cancer treatment centres have been rated Good or Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission.
But it’s not just our CQC ratings that reflect our quality of care. We continually achieve independent accreditations including:
- All our LOC cancer treatment centres have achieved the Macmillan Quality Environment Mark.
- All of our Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant centres are JACIE accredited.
- Our in-house genomic tests are ISO-accredited.
- We’ve achieved the Myeloma UK Clinical Services Excellence Programme accreditation in both London and Manchester.
- We’re the only private provider in the UK to have achieved the ESMO Designated Centre for Integrated Oncology and Palliative Care accreditation.
Second opinion – how we can help
Facing a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and it’s completely natural to want the clarity that a second opinion can bring.
A second opinion can offer reassurance, highlight additional treatment options and support you in making informed decisions about your care.
Whether you’ve just been diagnosed, have a treatment plan in place or have already started treatment, our specialists can help you explore your options and feel confident that you’re getting the very best treatment options available to you.
