Specialist and consultant clinics in Manchester

Manchester is a major centre for private specialist medicine, with consultant-led clinics in cardiology, dermatology, ENT, gastroenterology, urology and other fields — in the city centre, Didsbury and at private hospitals across Greater Manchester. Consultants are on the GMC specialist register, and clinics are CQC-registered.

Accessing a specialist

You can usually see a private specialist in Manchester with a GP referral (NHS or private), and sometimes by self-referral. A referral letter helps the consultant understand your history. If you have private medical insurance, check whether a referral and pre-authorisation are needed.

Choosing a consultant

Check that the consultant is on the GMC specialist register for their field and that the clinic is CQC-registered; PHIN also publishes information on private consultants. The listings below cover specialist medical clinics across the Manchester area. This is general information, not medical advice — always discuss your condition with a qualified clinician.
