Navigating the UK health system can be confusing. That’s why we offer a straightforward private service:
Many of our patients come from overseas. Some arrive with respiratory infections, some with gastrointestinal issues, and some with injuries from travel mishaps. We’re here to help you understand your options quickly, rather than spending hours in a busy hospital or waiting weeks for an NHS GP appointment.
We partnered with Bupa, Vitality, WPA and Healix. We also work with other major international insurance companies.
How to let us know you are insured:
Unlike busy emergency departments where you might wait a long time, at VisitHealth, we do our best to see you within minutes. We’re private, which means there’s a fee—but in return, you’ll receive prompt, personalized attention and access to a wider range of diagnostic tests than you typically would in a standard GP surgery.
With everything in one place, you won’t be sent all over town for tests or follow-up:
When we say our urgent care doctors and nurses come from an A&E (Accident & Emergency) background, it means they’re used to fast-paced, high-level emergencies. They know how to spot critical issues, stabilize patients, and decide if a person needs hospital-level care. Even though we’re not an emergency department, having that level of expertise on-site ensures that if your situation requires a referral or transfer, we’ll recognize that quickly and help you get exactly where you need to be.
VisitHealth launched in 2017, specialising in nurse-led home care. We have since grown into a new breed of health clinic, delivering a wide range of on-demand healthcare services, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Whether you call us or book online, you’ll give us a bit of information about your symptoms and concerns.
One of our nurses will ask you detailed questions. This step helps us decide how soon you need care—and if our clinic is the best place for you. If triage confirms we can help, we’ll book you for a same-day appointment.
When you arrive, we’ll do a quick check of your vital signs (blood pressure, temperature, pulse, etc.) to get a full picture of your health.
You’ll meet with one of our doctors for a thorough examination. They might listen to your lungs, check a sore throat, assess a sprain, or do any other necessary physical checks.
If you need blood tests or a scan (X-ray, ultrasound, MRI), we can often handle it right away. Our on-site radiology department speeds up diagnosis immensely.
We’ll discuss the best treatment plan with you, whether it’s medication, a cast, some stitches, or even a referral to a specialist. If you need ongoing care, we’ll stay in touch and make sure you have all your results.
If you think you are having any of these, we always advise calling 999 or visiting an NHS A&E department as quickly as possible.
If you’re unsure, give us a call. We’ll do a quick triage to guide you to the safest option.
