Self Pay

At The London Clinic, patients can self fund their diagnostics and treatments. We offer fixed-priced packages for peace of mind, and finance options to help spread the cost over a time that suits them.

It’s a straightforward option if you want to avoid long waiting times or access treatments that aren’t available through insurance or the NHS.
