Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GP referral for private gynaecology?

For self-pay patients, GP referral is usually not required. However, if using private health insurance, most policies do require a GP referral letter to cover gynaecology consultations and treatment.

Will I see the same gynaecologist throughout my treatment?

Yes, one of the major advantages of private gynaecology is continuity of care. You'll see the same consultant gynaecologist from initial consultation through to any treatment or surgery required.

Can I have an ultrasound scan at my first appointment?

Many private gynaecology clinics offer same-day ultrasound scanning during your initial consultation. This speeds up diagnosis and treatment planning significantly compared to NHS pathways.

Is private gynaecology covered by insurance?

Most private health insurance policies cover gynaecology consultations, investigations, and medically necessary treatments and surgery. Fertility treatment may have limited or no coverage. Check your specific policy details.

How soon can I have surgery if needed?

If surgery is recommended, private gynaecological procedures can typically be scheduled within 2-4 weeks compared to 12-18 weeks on the NHS. Your consultant will discuss timing based on urgency and your availability.
