How we work with and support our doctors
At AOA体育平台, providing the best care for our patients is our priority.
We are honoured that leading physicians and consultants choose to run their private practice from our hospital using of state of the art facilities.
As a charity, we invest our surplus income in training and development programmes for our nursing and other specialist medical staff.
We also invest in our equipment and estate to ensure our patients receive the best level of care from our staff and consultants utilising the most up-to-date technology the industry has to offer.
We take pride in the services we offer to our patients and to ensure that our consultants are able to focus on providing high quality care, we provide support to consultants.
Compliance with the Competitions and Markets Authority
On 1st October 2014, the published the Private Healthcare Market Investigation Order 2014 (the Order) as part of the remedies required by its final report on the Private Healthcare Market Investigation.
The Order requires private hospitals to disclose certain information relating to referring clinicians. These are set out for AOA体育平台 in the following sections:
Our consulting rooms
As a patient, attending a consultation can be worrisome and cause anxiety.
To minimise the worry patients may experience and to start any treatment required in a prompt and timely manner, we licence our consulting rooms to doctors on an hourly or sessional basis at market rates.
We have consulting suites on either Harley Street or Devonshire Place which are rented to clinicians on an annual or sessional basis. Sessional rooms are rented at a cost of 拢535 - 拢675 per month per session and consulting suites are rented at a cost of 拢30,000 - 拢40,000* per annum.
We consider that this represents a fair market value.
*Based on the dimensions and specifications of a small number of the rooms, the rental rates sit slightly outside this range in order for it to be at fair market value.
We also offer to collect professional fees on behalf of referring clinicians from certain international sponsors. This service is available to all clinicians with privileges at the hospital at an administration fee of between 拢10-75 + VAT per invoice depending on the value of the professional fees collected by AOA体育平台 under the invoice.
The following low value services are also provided to referring clinicians with practising privileges at the hospital:
鈥� Basic workplace amenities such as tea, coffee, refreshments and stationery
鈥� General marketing support, including online marketing, consultant directories and GP education events
鈥� Operational and administrative services to facilitate the processing of patient admissions
鈥� General clinical services such as access to room space for Multidisciplinary Team meetings
General corporate hospitality and events
In 2024, AOA体育平台 held a series of meetings with consultants from various specialties for the purpose of meeting members of the executive, commercial, operational and clinical teams and listening to and engaging with consultants. The food/refreshments cost of these ranged from 拢20 to 拢80 per head.
Corporate hospitality events held by the hospital at no charge to referring clinicians are set out below, together with the cost of providing such events, plus any gifts provided:
| 2025 New Year Consultant Event (200 guests) | 拢14,020.00 |

Clinical quality
Our mission to be the most trusted hospital and advancing healthcare underpins everything we do.
Since our incorporation in 1932 and subsequent charitable status in 1935, we have worked closely with leading consultants and medical professionals to provide first-class patient-centric patient care.
Establishing close working relationships with consultants across all hospitals is fundamental to our delivery of first-class patient care across all our facilities.
Our clinical quality processes are designed to ensure that we are able to manage complex services and facilitate the best possible care for patients.
In order to do this and to support our extensive range of complex specialisms, we have a number of clinical groups focused on the delivery of specific areas. Some of these groups offer round-the-clock support to our most vulnerable and acutely sick patients.
Pain Management
We have a well-established Pain Management service lead by our Consultant anaesthetists. Consultants are remunerated at market rate for their work in developing and maintaining this key service.
On-call rotas
For patient safety we have out of hours on-call rotas for the following: Anaesthetics; Surgical; radiology; neuroradiology. Consultants on these rotas are remunerated at market rate for their services to their specialist fields.
Multidisciplinary team meeting (MDT)
Regular Cancer (oncology) Multidisciplinary Team meetings are a vital component of AOA体育平台鈥檚 Clinical Governance framework.
The primary objective of our MDT meetings is to provide a formal mechanism for multi-disciplinary input into the planning of the initial treatment, and review of the ongoing management (whenever there are significant changes in therapy) of patients with cancer who are being treated at AOA体育平台.
The MDT is responsible for confirming a cancer diagnosis, recommending a treatment plan and developing individual treatment pathways for patients.
We remunerate Consultant Radiologists and Pathologists for their attendance at our MDT meetings to ensure quality and consistency of this key service. Nominated Lead Radiologists and Pathologists are remunerated 拢250 per MDT.
