Your patients can start their treatment sooner with our short-notice appointments and advanced diagnostic tests available across all our locations.
Your private patients can be referred to us in two ways:
1. Doctor referralAs the treating physician, you can refer your patient directly to one of our consultants or to our customer services team who will help arrange the appointment or admission. Please note, we require a medical referral for all diagnostic tests.
2. Self-referral by a patientYour patient can also contact us directly to request an appointment or admission with one of our consultants.
In this case, we would require a brief medical history â preferably by a treating physician â including any relevant test results. Once one of our consultants has agreed to accept a private patient, a letter of invitation is sent to them. This gives details of the appointment or admission, and if the patient is self-funding then it will also indicate the deposit required.

International patientsOur international patient coordinatorsWe know that visiting hospital can be a worrying time, especially for patients travelling to us from abroad. Thatâs why our international patient coordinators are here to help by providing tailored support for each patient, so they can focus their full attention on getting better.
Our international patient coordinators can:
âą advise on referrals â such as which consultant is most appropriate for each patient
âą liaise regularly with embassies and international contacts to keep them informed of a patientâs care as well as handling financial matters
âą arrange appointments and admission to our hospital, as well as for professional interpreters to be present, if needed.
Many of our international patient coordinators speak Arabic and are available across our three sites from Monday to Friday. They are also on-call for urgent queries, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Inpatient facilitiesPrivate patients enjoy freshly prepared meals from our dedicated catering service. Our menu is available in Arabic, and always includes vegetarian and heart-healthy options to choose from. We are pleased to provide Halal and Kosher meals and will cater to special requests whenever we can.
Every day, we offer patients a complimentary newspaper, including a range of international titles. Each patient has their own television, with both domestic and international channels to choose from. We also provide a range of luxury toiletries to make their stay as comfortable as possible.
Spiritual careWe provide facilities and services to support our patientsâ religious needs. Our multi-faith prayer rooms offer quiet spaces to pray or reflect at their own convenient time, with prayer mats and a divider available.
Our chapels at each hospital provide a quiet and tranquil space, away from the wards, for use by all. Our chaplaincy team can visit the ward to provide pastoral support and information, listen in confidentiality, pray if requested, or to arrange for appropriate faith leader to visit.

We aim to keep our pricing simple, open and fair, as well as ensuring our prices remain very competitive when compared with similar private healthcare providers.
Weâd like to ask that patients ensure payment is arranged in advance of their stay with us and accept numerous payment options to make this as easy as possible. Your patients can self-pay and receive their medical bill themselves or, if theyâre government sponsored or covered by medical insurance, can have an embassy or insurer pay for bills on their behalf.
Self-payTo receive a quotation, patients will need to provide us with details of their health problem or condition, together with relevant details from their medical history. Weâll then issue an estimated quote and/or deposit price based on the information provided.
Government sponsorshipInternational patients can be sponsored for private healthcare by their countryâs government, but the referral must be agreed prior to their arrival in the UK.
Before any outpatient or inpatient treatment can occur, the patient needs to provide a letter of guarantee from their government. The letter must clearly state that the government agrees to cover the total cost of care and set out any exclusions to full payment.
Medical insurancePatients covered by private medical insurance will need to:
âą check their insurer has an agreement with Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust and that we feature on their list of accepted providers
âą check their preferred consultant is accepted by the insurance company, attain their policy number and obtain their pre-authorisation details before being admitted to hospital
âą review their policy to ensure it has no exclusions and to request relevant pre-authorisations.

We want every patient to access the latest heart and lung treatments available, wherever they are in the world. We believe the key to achieving this is your personal development. Thatâs why we have created a range of educational programmes, to share our expertsâ specialist knowledge with you.
Clinical fellowshipsIf youâre an external consultant and would like to further your skills in cardiothoracic care, our intensive training fellowships will be perfect for you.
During the fellowship, youâll gain invaluable experience by:
âą assisting with diagnostic testing, catheter lab procedures and surgical procedures in the operating theatre
âą participating in clinical discussions
âą holding outpatient clinics
âą integrating with research at Imperial College London (where possible).
To take part, youâll need to be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and adhere to GMC standards.
Clinical observershipsIf youâre an external consultant who is not registered with the GMC, there is an alternative option for you â our clinical observerships. These are supervised training opportunities tailored to your needs.
During the observership, weâll help you improve your knowledge through activities such as:
âą taking clinical history under supervision
âą contributing to the examination of a patient and discussion of their diagnosis
âą scrubbing up and observing procedures in a theatre or cath lab
âą observing non-invasive, low-risk imaging.
Youâll receive full supervision during the training programme.
CollaborationWe believe we achieve more when we work as part of a team and encourage you to get in touch if youâd like to collaborate with us in any of the ways listed below.
Educational opportunities

Sharing best practiceWe have a strong interest in helping other hospitals and healthcare providers develop best practice in key clinical areas. For example, our experts can help by conducting a gap analysis to identify your hospitalâs needs and advise on how to set up a new department, team or advanced services.
Emergency visitsWe occasionally may be able to source a consultant to undertake a short emergency visit or retrieval, even with little notice. For example, to support the treatment of complex or VIP patients.
Training for junior doctorsWe help provide junior doctors with âon-the-jobâ training across specialty areas, supplemented by a formal academic programme delivered by our clinicians.
MentoringSeveral of our leading consultants can offer you expert one-to-one mentoring if you are seeking clinical, research and development advice. You can regularly visit our hospitals to spend time with your mentor, with ongoing remote access for further advice and support.

Visiting doctor programmeAnother way that we can share our specialist expertise is through our visiting doctor programme. Following an invitation by the host hospital, one of our consultants will come for a short visit. A consultant from the host hospital would usually pre-select patients to participate in the programme and be seen by our visiting consultant.
During this time, our consultants may be expected to:
âą work alongside local consultants to share clinical knowledge
âą hold outpatient clinics and operate on appropriate cases
âą share experience through lectures and talks
âą participate in clinical discussions.
Interested in collaborating with us?Get in touch with our business development team to request more information about any of these programmes.

My experience at Royal Brompton Hospital far outweighed any expectations. I learnt how surgeons combine surgical practice with research and was exposed to some of the most cutting-edge techniques in cardiac surgery. Anyone with an interest in technology and complex cardiac surgical procedures would benefit from this observership program!Anthony Lisacek-KiosoglousClinical Observership Programme in Adult Cardiac Surgery from Australia
