Greater certainty over your health in a single visit
Following a remote or face to face consultation, we aim to diagnose and treat you in a single visit to HCA UK at The Shard. We’ll coordinate your tests, assess your condition and provide medication or minor treatment on the same day (where medically possible). If your case is more complex, we’ll ensure you have an onward plan for your health that may involve further treatment - at London Bridge Hospital or nearer to home.
In short, you’ll benefit from the most knowledgeable specialist opinion, with the least inconvenience, in the safest of environments.
