Referrals to The Whiteley Clinic

The Whiteley Clinic is a specialist clinic that is not funded by the NHS but has been set up independently - which in the UK is therefore called a "private clinic".

As such we can only see patients who have funding to see us.

Payment for our specialist services can made by:

• Patient who pay for themselves (self funding).
• Private medical insurance - please check with your insurer first and check the Private Medical Insurance page.
• Occasionally we can see NHS patients - but funding must be agreed and guaranteed before we can book an appointment.

We provide consultations and treatments, with the exception of iontophoresis - those who we deem suitable for iontophoresis will be recommended to a company that sells these machines.

We have found that most patients prefer this and do not wish to attend regularly for iontophoresis treatments in the clinic when, for a similar cost, they can buy their own machine and use it at home.

However, most patients are suitable for other treatments rather than iontophoresis. If anyone does want to use iontophoresis in The Whiteley Clinic, we are happy to make arrangements for them to do so.

If you wish to be seen for excessive sweating of your armpits (axilla), face, groins, feet, hands or generalised of the whole body, we would be more than happy to see you at The Whiteley Clinic.

You are able to refer yourself but we do encourage you to ask your GP to refer you to us. We would also encourage you to make sure that you have tried the conservative measures outlined in this site before you come to see us as, if they work for you, you will have saved yourself a journey.

If you do not wish to have your GP refer you for any particular reason, we will still be happy to see you and treat you on a private patient basis, but we will ask your permission to keep your GP informed of any results or treatments that you have under our care.

If you wish to use Private Medical Insurance, and you insurer agrees to your referral, you will need a referral from another doctor (usually your GP) to activate this. If you are unsure, please check with your insurer as to their rules on your policy.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask us via the Contact Us page.
