    Self-pay

    You don’t need health insurance to be seen quickly. If you’re looking for a diagnosis or treatment for your child and don’t want to wait, all of our private healthcare services – from private GP appointments through to surgery and aftercare – can be paid for as and when you need them.

    And to give you peace of mind from the start, we’ll give you a clear and transparent quote outlining exactly what’s included in your self-pay package.

    Book an appointment

    Your questions answered

    Pick up and drop off: Visitors can pick up and drop off patients at the main entrance. No parking is allowed as the driveway is for emergency vehicle access.

    Local parking: There is no on-site parking and street parking is not permitted on a single yellow line between Monday to Saturday, 8.30am- 6.30pm. However, national and private car parks are available nearby. Please contact the admissions team if you require help to identify a local car park near to the hospital.

    Disabled parking: Westminster Council operate a small number of disabled parking bays near the hospital, available to Blue Badge holders for up to four hours. The nearest one is on the corner of Bolsover Street, next to Tesco Express.

    At The Portland it is open visiting, however, we do recommend that visitors leave by 10pm. If your child is staying over night, this means both parents and child can settle for the night.

    Should you wish to stay overnight with your child (we actively encourage this). A bed will be provided for one parent to stay.

    Yes, parents are very welcome to go to the anaesthetic room; and you can stay until your child is asleep, after which the nurse will accompany you back to your room.
    We do. Our team offers pharmaceutical advice and guidance on a range of health concerns, including information on medication. You’ll be able to pick up your or your child’s prescription quickly after their appointment.
