Pricing
Your initial consultant fee with one of our consultants is £250. If your consultant recommends further investigations these will be priced separately. If you are funding your care yourself, we do have a range of discounted diagnostic packages to assess the health of your heart and lungs. We will always ensure you are fully informed of costs. If you have private medical insurance it is very likely your insurance provider will cover your initial consultation fee, investigations and a potential treatment plan.
About Post COVID Recovery
Although many people who have been infected by the coronavirus make a full recovery, other patients are sadly left with debilitating symptoms that can continue to impact their lives for weeks and months. Common ongoing symptoms of what is now commonly referred to as ‘long COVID’ include breathing difficulties, fatigue, reduced muscle function and muscle and joint pain. Some patients also experience psychological and cognitive problems such as depression, anxiety and memory loss.
As we learn more about the virus, we know that there are also those of you who may be feeling anxious about the long-term impact of COVID-19 on your physical and mental health and these feelings of anxiety may be compounded among those who have other underlying conditions.
COVID Symptoms you may be experiencing
- Cardiac or respiratory issues such as difficulty breathing, speaking or swallowing or chest pain
- Difficulty walking, exercising or performing daily tasks at home
- Extreme tiredness and fatigue, commonly associated with chronic fatigue syndrome
- Weakness in the arms or legs
- Pain, discomfort or reduced function in muscles and joint pain
- Cognitive changes, such as difficulty thinking or ‘brain fog’, poor concentration and memory loss
- Mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Gastrointestinal or digestion problems such as gastritis, abdominal pain or loss of appetite
- Reduced or severely disrupted sleep
- Prolonged loss of sense of taste or smell
- Signs of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases

I currently have COVID - can I access your service? icon plus
No. You are not permitted to travel for treatment if you are self-isolating due to COVID. We do not accept admissions from any patients who have COVID-19.

What will your service involve to make me better? icon plus
To get you back to full health, you will begin with an initial appointment with one of our consultants who specialises in specific symptoms, who will be able to advise on follow up investigations such as heart or respiratory assessments.
After you have been swiftly diagnosed, you will benefit from access to the most sophisticated diagnostic technologies available across The Harley Street Clinic and The Wellington Hospital, where your specialist will take the time to discuss your results and put together a bespoke treatment plan to make you better. If further care is required, an onward referral can be arranged. -
How long do Coronavirus symptoms last? icon plus
The duration of the symptoms can vary depending on the individual, and therefore we are unable to provide an accurate timeframe.
However, if you have experienced any of the symptoms, such as breathing difficulties, fatigue, memory loss, a prolonged loss of sense of taste or smell, or reduced muscle function and muscle and joint pain, for a number of weeks or months, we advise you seek medical attention.
