Frequently asked questions and other useful information

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to find the information you need, so we've gathered a list of frequently asked questions about our hospitals and services

  • You can either book an consultation via the online booking process, fill in the enquiry form, or give us a call at 0808 101 0337.

  • Find out how much private healthcare costs and how these prices break down.

  • Whether you have your own private medical insurance policy or are covered through your employer, we'll guide you through how to make a claim for treatment at a Circle Hospital.

  • The number one benefit of private healthcare for most people is that you'll experience a shorter waiting time for treatment. We don't have long waiting lists, and in general you'll simply get treatment as and when you need it.

    As a private patient, you shouldn't experience long waits between appointments. We can usually offer you an initial consultation within days of you getting in touch, and we'll book you in for the treatments you need on a date and time that suits you.
