FAQs

Our search features help you easily find and compare NHS services, be it specialist consultations, procedures or scans. Our guides are there to provide clear and concise information about the English health system, helping you to take control of your healthcare.
Find and compare services currently only cover the London area.
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland run their own health services independently, and as a result have different policies and guidance in many instances. While we aim to expand our services to all four nations, currently our guides only apply to patients in England.
All our data is collated directly from providers and indirectly via open source information published by, among other sources, NHS digital, NHS England and the Care Quality Commission. We take a number of steps to ensure the accuracy of our data, however we are ultimately dependent on third-parties, and thus cannot guarantee its reliability.
All enquiries should be directed to the information provided on our contact page. While we aim to reply to all enquiries as soon as possible, please note that replies may take some time.
