Dr John Watson came in to our urgent care centre Casualty First with what he suspected to be a strangulated hernia. As well as suffering with this he also required a gastroscopy and was referred to one of our GI consultants Mr Romi Navaratnam. Dr Watson was seen the same-day by our consultants and praised the standard of patient rooms, the quality of the food provided and the knowledgeable nurses that were on-hand throughout his treatment.

If you are self-paying you don’t need a referral from your GP for a consultation. You can simply refer yourself* and book an appointment.
If you have health insurance (e.g. Bupa, Axa Health, Aviva), you will need to contact your insurer to get authorisation before any treatment, and in most cases you will also require a referral letter from your GP.
If you are not registered with a GP, we have an in-house private GP practice you can use. Alternatively, we can suggest the most appropriate course of action for you to take, given your location and individual circumstances.
*Please note – for investigations such as X-rays and MRIs, a referral will be required. However, we may be able to arrange this for you through our on-site private GP.
St John’s Hospice offers free palliative and respite care to over 4,500 patients and their families, across seven London boroughs, every year. The Hospice couldn’t offer its essential services without the support from St John & St Elizabeth Hospital.
