Common questions about hospitals in United Kingdom

Frequently Asked Questions

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is England's independent regulator of health and social care. It inspects all hospitals (NHS and private) and rates them on safety, effectiveness, care, responsiveness, and leadership. Ratings range from Outstanding to Inadequate. International patients should look for hospitals rated Good or Outstanding. The CQC publishes detailed inspection reports online.
International patients can access NHS services but are typically charged 150% of the standard NHS tariff for non-emergency treatment unless covered by a reciprocal healthcare agreement. Most international patients choose private hospitals for faster access, private rooms, and dedicated international patient services. Emergency NHS treatment is free for all.

A hip replacement costs approximately £10,000–£15,000 (vs. $40,000 in the US), cardiac bypass £20,000–£30,000 (vs. $100,000+), and an MRI scan £250–£600 (vs. $1,000–$5,000).
