Please see a list of health or medical insurance providers below. Private medical healthcare provides extra peace of mind for people who want more than the standard care provided by the NHS. This includes less waiting around, faster treatment and more choice.

You can find companies that offer standard private healthcare policies but also those who offer specialist health insurance cover for your children and for dental care.
