Your care should be delivered or overseen by an appropriately qualified professional for the service being provided. I encourage you to ask who will be involved, what their role is, how their registration can be checked and how your result or next step will be managed before booking.
Private medical services can involve GPs, consultant specialists, sonographers, phlebotomy and laboratory teams, cardiac professionals and operational staff. The exact clinician depends on the service, appointment type, availability and clinical suitability. Appointment availability, reporting and follow-up arrangements are confirmed at booking.

View full profileWhat you can expect to know
Before or at your appointment, you should be able to understand who is providing the service, their role, how they are professionally regulated where applicable, and who is responsible for reviewing or communicating your result.
The clinic should not imply that every clinician provides every service. Appointments are matched to scope, competence, availability and clinical governance.
- The name and clinical role of the professional providing your appointment where applicable.
- Whether the professional is the treating clinician, examiner, reporter or part of a wider clinical pathway.
- How to ask for relevant professional-registration or credential information.
- Who to contact if you have a question about the report, result or follow-up.
Clinical oversight and diagnostic reporting
Some appointments involve more than one professional role. For example, a diagnostic examination may be performed by one appropriately trained professional and reported or reviewed through a defined pathway. Ask the clinic how this applies to your chosen service before booking.
