Each month we’re delighted to help around 35,000 people just like you who are looking for information to help them make more educated healthcare choices.
Who we are and what we do
We’re independent, not-for-profit, and free for you to use.
Our website has profiles for the private consultants and hospitals who can treat you, as well as lots of guides and other useful information.
Our vision is that 'Everyone can make confident choices about their healthcare to get the best outcomes'.
To help make that happen we publish a wide range of information on our website. We tell you more about that below.
There are more than 800,000 private hospital admissions every year and that number continues to grow, so we know there are more and more people looking for help.
We’re proud to be here to help and hope you find our website easy to use and informative.
