St George’s welcomes private patients from the UK and abroad. We offer a wide range of advanced treatments and diagnostic procedures and our world-renowned consultants are leaders in their respective fields, treating conditions simple to complex.

To help support private patients who are having treatment at St George’s we have a dedicated Private Patient Office located on the Ground Floor of Atkinson Morley Wing. The team will do everything they can to make your time with us as comfortable as possible.

St George’s does not have a dedicated private patient unit, however we will always endeavour to provide a single patient room wherever possible.

To talk to us about your admission, treatment and services please call the private patient office.

Funding of Your Treatment

  1. Self-funding – If you are self-funding your treatment this will need to be paid for in advance of treatment commencing.  We accept most major credit cards, cash, bank transfers and personal cheques with a banker’s card.
  2. Medical insurance – If you have private medical insurance, we advise you to confirm with your insurer that your treatment is covered and get authorisation before making an appointment.
  3. Sponsored patients – If you are being sponsored by an international embassy, you will need to ensure we are provided with a letter of guarantee before your appointment to cover your treatment.
