6The nature of your query. Your name and contact
details. It is not mandatory for these details
to be disclosed if confidentiality and discretion
are an issue. However, it is preferable to give
us correct details whenever possible with a
method of contacting you should the need arise
(usually mobile telephone number or e-mail
address). Your attendance at our clinic will not
be disclosed to any third party without your
consent, including to your NHS General
Practitioner (GP). Our clinical team will,
however, respectfully discuss the benefits of
sharing any significant findings with your NHS GP
as highlighted in Good Medical Practice and the
recommendations of the General Medical Council
(GMC), however, this will be dependent upon a
two-way discussion and we will always respect
each patients view.

7Attending for your appointment
Try and attend around 15 minutes prior to the
appointment time, to allow some time to complete
the new patient health questionnaire and
registration forms. All of our clinics are
centrally located with excellent road and rail
links. Some clinics have their own private car
parks on-site. Our appointment times may run over
due to emergencies that arise occasionally, so
you should allow enough time for metered parking
to accommodate this. We recommend paying for an
hours worth of parking if using on-street
meters. Appointment times are not restricted and
the doctor will spend as long as is necessary to
take a thorough medical history and to perform a
clinical examination where necessary. Chaperones
will be available for sensitive examinations and
you are welcome to attend with as many friends or
relatives as you wish.

8You can discuss as many medical issues as you
feel necessary that are causing you concern. The
doctor will be fully attentive and will be trying
to help identify the best care pathway to
optimise your clinical care, whether that
involves reassurance only, some investigations or
a referral to a private specialist
consultant. We hope and expect that your
experience at our clinic today will be a positive
one. Regent Street Clinic has been at the
forefront of private healthcare provision across
the UK for the past two decades, and in that time
we have witnessed, and been part of, the surge in
demand for private medical services by those
wanting a high quality, same day service a
service not restricted by cost, personnel or time.

9Paying for your treatment The GP consultation
fee is 95. Additional services such as blood
tests and scans will be supplementary and the
costs of these to the laboratory or local private
hospital will be discussed during the
consultation. Payment is due at the end of the
consultation with the health professional and on
the same day as being seen. The costs of any
additional tests or investigations will be
discussed fully during the consultation.

10Private health insurance is unlikely to cover the
cost of a private GP consultation in the UK, with
the exception of BUPA International and
International SOS, who will pre-authorise the
consultation and any additional tests to a set
value. Please check the policy of your private
insurance provider before making your
appointment. As a rule, Regent Street Clinic
does not liaise with insurance providers and our
fees are due on the day of treatment. If you do
have private health insurance then you will be
expected to claim back the costs of your medical
care having been furnished with an invoiced
receipt from us, itemising the services you have
received.

credit cards, BACS transfer or PayPal. We do not
accept personal cheques or American
Express. Certain services that we offer are
non-refundable and are available to view in our
patient handbooks at each clinic. These

12Imaging results such as X-ray/MRI/CT/Ultrasound
can take up to 5 days as we are dependent upon
them being reported by the consultants at the
local private hospitals. All results are
conveyed to you and discussed with you by the
requesting doctor. You are encouraged to have
access to your results so that a shared care
management plan can be implemented. All results
can be forwarded to you by e-mail, fax or hard
copy. Hardware such as compact discs and x-ray
films are your possessions and will be sent to
you or they can be collected by you in person
from the clinic.

13The doctor will discuss whether any further
follow-up is necessary and will make arrangements
by way of a further face to face consultation, a
telephone consultation or a referral to a
hospital consultant. You will be made fully
aware of the care pathway recommended and whether
this is going to be best accessed through the
private sector or the NHS route, dependent upon a
number of factors, not least the most financially
acceptable model for each patient. A report will
be issued highlighting the significant clinical
findings, which can be discussed with other
healthcare professionals if needed.
