Private hospital treatment made easy

No health insurance? No problem.

With our self-pay option, you can pay directly for the treatment you need, as and when you need it. 

For an estimated treatment cost, give us a call and we can give you a tailored quote.

You'll be given a fixed-price package after you’ve had your consultant appointment, so you'll know exactly what you're going to pay ahead of time, with no nasty surprises down the road.

We offer flexible payment options, allowing you to spread the cost of your care across anywhere from one to five years.* 

With Circle Health Group, private healthcare is more affordable than you'd think. 

*Terms and conditions apply. Find out how much you can borrow to pay for your treatment with our fixed-term payment calculator.

Never gone private before? No problem. Accessing treatment with Circle is as easy as 1,2, 3.

1. Book your appointment

Whether you call, book online or use our live chat option, you’re dealing directly with our in-house team of specially trained advisors.

2. Your initial consultation

Your first appointment with your consultant is where we get to know you, make a diagnosis, and start discussing available treatments.

We know every person is different, so all our treatment plans are bespoke to the individual, and we won’t make any decisions on what to do without making sure it’s right for you.

3. Start your treatment

We don’t have waiting lists for treatment, so things can move as quickly as you want them to. For most people, it’s a matter of weeks, not months.

You can choose a time and day that work for you, and we don’t cancel or delay appointments except in cases of emergency.

If you're not quite ready to see a specialist, we provide fast access to private GP appointments at a time and place that suits you.

You can book an appointment with an experienced private GP in person, on the phone or via video call. You can choose a time that works for you, and we often have appointments available the same day.

Private GP services offer you the time and space to talk through your concerns with an experienced GP, who will provide a tailored approach to your care. Any test results will usually be available within 48 hours and your GP will make an immediate referral to consultants and specialists at your nearest hospital, if needed. This will ensure you have access to our broad range of specialist diagnostic testing, including blood tests, x-rays, and scans.
