Expert Healthcare
Access to private GP services while you are in the UK.
'Home from Home’ Healthcare
If you've travelled to the UK from overseas, we’re here to provide you with expert healthcare throughout your stay. Whether you need a routine check-up or more specialised care, our private GPs offer a wide range of services to ensure you receive the same high-quality care you’re accustomed to at home.
Insurance Claims Made Simple
We understand many international patients are covered by insurance while travelling. Our team can provide detailed invoices for you to submit for reimbursement, or if you prefer, we can work directly with your insurer to arrange your appointment. Just let your insurance provider know, and they can contact us on your behalf to manage the details seamlessly.
Clear Communication and Support
We’re committed to making your experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our friendly staff are experienced in supporting international patients and will ensure you have all the information you need regarding your appointment, treatment options, and insurance paperwork.
Translator services
If English isn’t your first language, we can arrange telephone and video translation services through LanguageLine to support your appointment. Just let us know in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements [additional fees apply].
