About London Medical

The London Medical Group

The evolution of London’s best-connected private specialist clinic

London Medical first opened its doors to patients back in 1991, as a specialist diabetes clinic. But diabetes affects almost every part of the body, so we very quickly started to widen our focus to provide first-class clinical care across the various conditions and problems commonly associated with the disease.

In addition to world-class expertise in every aspect of diabetes care, we soon built an outstanding reputation in the fields of ophthalmology, cardiology and endocrinology, as well as in obesity and weight management.

Our unique multidisciplinary team of leading specialists work together with you, providing tailored personal care to meet your health requirements. In all cases they use the latest knowledge, techniques, and best clinical practices.

World-class expertise, from head-to-toe

But London Medical’s evolution didn’t stop there. Realising how much our patients appreciated the convenience and connectedness of our “one-stop-shop” approach, we began to develop the wide range of specialist treatments that we offer today – attracting leading consultants, eager to practise state-of-the-art medicine in the exceptionally welcoming and patient-friendly environment we’ve created.

For a specialist Consultant appointment (no Doctor’s referral required) or to get a second opinion, call 0808 239 5895 or make an enquiry online and we’ll get back to you promptly.

Medical Advisory Committee

Our Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) allows consultants from every specialist area to represent themselves at the clinic.

We believe it’s important that everyone can change London Medical for the better, so within our MAC, there are a number of ways that each consultant can communicate their ideas. Really, it has two main purposes:

overseeing, representing and advising us on professional issues related to medical practitioner activities
ensuring quality patient care through the clinical governance framework.

The functions of the MAC include

Advise on granting practising privileges to medical applicants in line with our policy.
Advise on the suitability of new techniques.
Oversee and approve the clinic’s clinical governance and quality strategy.
Management of all aspects of Clinical Governance namely, Clinical Risk Management, Effectiveness & Audit, Performance Management, Patient Satisfaction

Consider the implications, implementation and compliance with National Service Frameworks guidance from NICE, NCEPOD enquiries, and all guidance from regulatory and professional bodies, and recommending changes to practice as necessary.
Agree priorities of clinical audit and outcome measurement.
Confirm that any research projects within the clinic have appropriate regulatory and ethical approval.
Report on Clinical Governance issues and work closely with management to improve overall quality

The chairman of the MAC is Dr David Hopkins, Consultant Endocrinologist FRCP. If you’d like to get in touch, contact info@londonmedical.co.uk. Details of the constitution of the MAC are available from the General Manager (david.briggs@londonmedical.co.uk).

Going the extra mile to make you feel at home

London has an international reputation for medical excellence, and many of our consultants are globally renowned experts in their fields. So it’s no surprise that patients come to London Medical from all over the world, for the very highest standards of joined-up care and the most advanced treatments.

As a result, we’ve acquired a lot of practical experience in helping to make things as straightforward and stress-free as possible for patients from overseas.

That includes speaking your language. As a multilingual clinic, we’ll be happy to provide an interpreter, if you need one.

Paying for your treatment

If your embassy or company is paying, we may have a direct settlement arrangement with them. If so, before you have any treatment at London Medical, you’ll need to provide a signed letter of guarantee from them.

We will then contact them directly for payment, though if they are not paying the full amount, you will be responsible for meeting the outstanding costs.

If you are paying for your own treatment, our team will be happy to advise on ways to pay.

Now, what can we do for you?

Ways to pay

Making the cost of world-class care as painless as possible

If you’re paying yourself

For individual treatments, we may request payment in advance, if we know what the cost will be. We accept cash, all major debit and credit cards, and personal cheques from UK residents. Please see credit card details collection policy.

For ongoing diabetes care, we offer long term care plans, carefully designed to provide the personalised care you need at a fixed cost around 30% lower than paying for all the same components separately.

If your insurer is paying

We’ll contact your insurance provider for payment. But if your policy won’t cover the full amount, it’s up to you pay the rest.

Before you have any treatment at London Medical, it’s your responsibility to check whether your policy does cover the treatment, either partly or in full. We’ll be happy to provide a quote, to enable you to do this.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to provide us with pre-authorisation from your insurer – which means you may need a GP referral.

You’ll then authorise us to submit claims relating to your treatment to your insurer, on your behalf.
