Checking a private clinic is properly regulated

In England, private clinics providing regulated healthcare must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and you can read a clinic's inspection rating on the CQC website before booking. Individual clinicians should hold registration with the relevant body, such as the General Medical Council (GMC) for doctors, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) for nurses, and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) for physiotherapists and other allied health professionals. It is reasonable to ask which regulator a practitioner is registered with and to confirm their registration number.

Costs, insurance and what to confirm before booking

Private care can be self-funded or paid through private medical insurance, so it helps to confirm fees, consultation length and whether any follow-up, tests or prescriptions are charged separately. If you are using insurance, check that the clinic is recognised by your provider and whether you need a referral or pre-authorisation. For continuity of care, ask how the clinic shares information with your NHS GP and whether records can be updated with your consent.

Do I need a GP referral to see a private specialist?

Many private clinics allow you to book a consultation directly without an NHS referral, though some specialists and insurers still require one. If you plan to claim on private medical insurance, check your policy first, as a referral or pre-authorisation is often needed before treatment.

How can I check a Milton Keynes private clinic is safe and reputable?

Confirm the clinic is registered with the Care Quality Commission and read its inspection rating, then check that the treating clinician is on the appropriate professional register, such as the GMC, NMC or HCPC. Reading recent reviews and asking about fees and follow-up care in advance can also help you decide.
