Working with you to provide expert treatment and care for patients
Referring a patient
Whether you’re a GP, physiotherapist, consultant or their secretary, you can refer your patients to us for a wide range of healthcare services to any one of our world-class hospitals and specialist clinics. We strive to offer same or next-day appointments and diagnostics and, where possible, same-day patient results.
Your patients may ask to be referred to us because they:
- Want to opt for one of our self-pay treatments
- Have private health insurance and wish to claim for their treatment
- Want a second opinion on their diagnosis or treatment plan from a private healthcare professional
- Want a comprehensive view of their health by choosing a health assessment
How to refer a patient
There are various ways you can contact us for fast-track enquiries and referrals. We provide clear and transparent quotes.
Our lines are open from 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday

For quick, convenient referrals – named and unnamed – contact our Relationship Manager team. They liaise and work with GPs, physiotherapists, consultants, their secretaries and patients to provide appointments at our hospitals and outpatient centres. They’re on hand to help refer your patients to the correct specialist and provide a seamless service.
The service provides you with:
- Fast access to appointments with our specialists and assistance with follow-ups

CPD Educational seminar and events
HCA UK offers a programme of free CPD accredited education seminars covering a broad range of specialities for GPs, nurses and physiotherapists. Led by our internationally respected consultants, we showcase new developments and breakthroughs in healthcare, diagnostic procedures and conditions our specialist treat. CPD certificates will be awarded to attendees at the end of the seminar.
Due to the impact of COVID-19, we’ve taken the decision to put in place precautionary measures and postpone or cancel face-to-face external meetings and events that are not business-critical or necessary for decisions about patient care. This will help to ensure the safety of you, our colleagues, consultants, visitors, patients and their families.
