Our clinic location has been chosen to allow for ease of access for wheelchair users. If you or a member of your party requires a wheelchair or has any other special requirements relating to disability, please enquire at reception or inform the service before your appointment.
All patients have the right to have a chaperone present on the day of their appointment. Our use of chaperones is to promote an overall sense of safety and comfort for our patients. Our Chaperones are trained healthcare professionals and are members of our medical team; therefore, they uphold the same levels of confidentiality and patient care as our clinicians.
Due to the specialised nature of private healthcare and each patient having their own carefully curated treatment plan, the cost can be different for every person. For more information about how we charge, as well as guide prices for some of our most common treatments/ diagnostic services, please contact us.
We at Beacon pride ourselves on the fact that we are able to provide quality healthcare for affordable, realistic prices. No longer is private healthcare just for the select few; we have made our service universally accessible by offering affordable prices and finance options. We promise no hidden costs and provide fixed price quotes, with a cost breakdown, so you know exactly how much you’re paying and what you’re paying for.
If you’re paying for yourself but feel that you require finance, our Private Patient Sales Advisers can discuss your needs and give you an indication of the costs involved. They’ll also let you know of our various finance packages and payback schemes, which are specifically designed to spread the cost and lessen the financial load on our patients.
To book an appointment, simply contact us via our online form or by telephone, register your interest, and one of our expert team of private sales advisors will be in touch to guide you through the process.
