HCA Healthcare UK is a group of renowned, long established private hospitals attracting patients from across the world.
From pioneering cardiac and neurosurgeries to the very latest cancer treatments, HCA UK has unmatched capability in the UK private sector.
HCA UK’s hospitals specialise in acute care spanning the full depth and breadth of clinical specialties — all within a multidisciplinary team framework.
Over 3,000 eminent consultant physicians and surgeons practise at HCA UK hospitals - many also working in London’s revered NHS teaching hospitals. Together they deliver the highest levels of care, including for patients with the most complex needs.
They’re supported by equally skilled clinical teams — by specialty — including perfusionists, clinical nurse specialists, dietitians, physiotherapists, transplant coordinators, and tissue viability specialists for the prevention and management of wounds.
Many HCA UK hospitals and outpatient clinics are rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission. An ‘Outstanding’ rating is an accolade achieved by only 8% of all UK hospitals, both private and NHS.

Having worked in private hospitals, health insurance and medical concierge services for 15 years we have a carefully curated list of consultants who are at the cutting edge of treatment across the majority of medical specialties.
Typically we give three consultants’ names for patients to choose from. For each, we’ll provide a rationale and summary of their practice, their sub-specialties, expertise, training and achievements. For rarer conditions, we use our network of consultants and hospital executives to find the perfect specialist.
Of course, timings vary but sometimes same day appointments are possible. We have close relationships with our hospital partners and many consultants, so we can often expedite a patient’s healthcare journey. This includes fast-tracked appointments or asking for additional clinics to be held by doctors. We can arrange for video consultations if travel is required but a patient's health precludes it at the time.
The UK has an image exchange portal (IEP) which allows scans to be uploaded and securely exported from one NHS or private hospital to another. This includes image transfers from the Channel Islands. International image transfers beyond the UK can also be arranged.
There is no cost to the patient for using our service. We are paid a small commission by our partner hospitals. We are fortunate to work with the best hospitals in the UK.
Our partner hospitals are Cleveland Clinic London and HCA Healthcare UK — which has hospitals in London, Birmingham, and Manchester. Our partners are at the forefront of healthcare, providing: the very latest treatments; advanced diagnostic and surgical technology, and multidisciplinary care to optimise health outcomes — including level 3 intensive care units.
Whilst unlikely, should a treatment not be available in these hospitals, we always put the patient’s needs first and will source the right consultant elsewhere. Importantly, our clients have access to hospitals in London, Manchester and Birmingham, where our knowledge base of treatments and consultants is.
Many of our hospitals offer immediate assessment and care 24/7 for stable patients with acute conditions. Whether patients are transferring from another hospital or seeking urgent treatment, we can facilitate quick, smooth transitions for your care — from anywhere in the UK or for medical evacuation by air or road from abroad. *Exclusions: no strokes, major road traffic accidents or crushing chest pain until stable.
