PHIN collects data from, and about, hospitals across the UK who treat patients privately. To help you make the most of our hospital profiles and understand the questions you need to ask to make more informed choices, we have produced several related guides.
Which hospitals provide private treatment?
Private patients pay for their own treatment either through private medical insurance or 'self-pay'.
Some private hospitals are single sites where you can go for diagnosis and/or treatment, whereas others belong to much larger groups ('Providers') who may have sites across the UK.
There are also some NHS hospitals that have dedicated private patient units (PPUs). These can be dedicated hospital wings, or just a few beds set aside for private patients.
