How to become a HCA UK patient
Getting the care you need
At HCA Healthcare UK, accessing medical care for you or your family is a seamless process. And you won’t have to wait long for your first appointment – we aim to see you within 48 hours of you getting in touch or being referred.
It's easy to search for a consultant by their medical specialty. If you already know which consultant you would like to see, you can use our online form to request an appointment with the consultant of your choice.
Most of our patients are referred to us via their GP – whether that’s an NHS GP or a private GP. You can also be referred by a physiotherapist. If you don’t have a diagnosis or a referral, you can make an appointment with one of our GPs.
Our private GPs have full referring rights to all of our facilities and consultants so they can refer you to an appropriate consultant or for further tests, quickly. It’s often possible to make a same-day or next-day appointment.
Lots of our patients travel from abroad for assessments and treatments at our facilities. We have a dedicated international team that looks after everything – from helping you sort out your visa to arranging a translator.
All of our consultants are covered by major medical insurers. In order to authorise your treatment, insurers usually needs to see a referral letter from a GP (NHS or private). Once you have a referral, contact your insurer. Please bring this authorisation with you when you come for your appointment.

Balancing motherhood and a breast cancer diagnosis
For Lina, 45, from Kingston upon Thames, south-west London, an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis at 23 weeks’ pregnant came as a complete shock.
Tim's story
When Tim was told his prostate cancer was no longer responding to standard treatment options, and that he would have just months not years to live, he was determined to prove his doctor wrong. He was referred to the Sarah Cannon Research Institute and with optimism and hope embarked on a clinical trial.
Katie’s story
When Katie found out her worsening vision was caused by a tumour, she was terrified of what might happen. But with the reassurance and surgical expertise of Mr Sinan Barazi at The Harley Street Clinic, her tumour was removed with minimally invasive surgery and her vision was restored.
Don't wait, pay for yourself
