Frequently Asked Questions

We accept referrals from your Insurance Company or your GP. Although it is helpful to have a GP letter, self paying patients do not have to have one. We always copy the GP into our correspondence following the consultation so that your medical records are up to date.

It is important to check with your insurance provider to check if you need a referral in the form of a letter from your registered doctor.

A new patient consultation costs £225 and a follow-up consultation will cost £150.

Steroid Injections cost £90 in addition to the consultation costs. The Hospital will charge a separate amount for the injection, please check at each hospital.

Additional tests may be needed to aid in an accurate diagnosis of your condition:

  • X-rays: To visualise your bones.
  • Ultrasound: To assess tendons, ligaments, and sometimes nerves.
  • MRI: For detailed images of soft tissues and complex problems.
  • CT: to look at more complex bone or joint problems.
  • Nerve Conduction studies- electrical testing of your nerves to diagnose compression on your nerves- like in some cases of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
  • In case of Insured patients, a pre-authorisation is needed in most cases.

Post-operative exercises and therapy may be needed after surgery. This would be tailored to your specific surgery and your needs, working collaboratively with qualified, experienced Hand Therapists.
