Where to find a list of private hospitals


There are thousands of health related websites that list private hospitals online. To find these lists you have to be very thorough and specific. For example, when searching you need to specify the region that you are interested in and also be willing to go through a number of web results because it's unlikely that you'll find what you are looking for on the first page of search results.

You can start by looking at lists provided by hospitals directories and see if you can find the type of information you are after. Sometimes if you know the name of the private hospital, it's easier to find addresses and contact details. You can just search for the hospital and you'll be able to visit their website. Many private hospitals in the UK such as Nuffield Hospitals and Bupa have websites that you can visit for more information and to find a local private hospital near where you live.

The main NHS website may have some information that you can use in your search. They have a huge hospitals directory on their site and you can use that to start your research.

You can also try local pages and the yellow pages online to find private hospitals and health centres that are near the locations that you are interested in.

If you are not too sure but want to start by looking at a list of hospitals both NHS and private then you can start here: list private hospitals.
