Private healthcare for people in Florence

Care in Milan, our nearest city to Florence

Many people in Florence begin in Milan, the closest of our cities, where we arrange care with the city's best clinics and follow it through, with private GP from €150, doctor at your home or hotel from €160 and full body MRI from €2,750.

You can request an appointment today whether or not you are a member, and members have priority. One record holds your results and your plan, in Milan and in London alike.

Care in London for people from Florence

Our clinics are on Baker Street in Marylebone and Eccleston Street in Belgravia, open from early morning to evening every day. A GP appointment is £150, a doctor to your hotel is £450, and the executive physical, a full day with one physician and every result reviewed before you leave, is £2,995.

Your concierge arranges specialists, scans and tests around the days you are in London, so a short visit holds everything you came for.

Travelling to London for care

Holders of a passport from Italy can apply for an electronic travel authorisation, which costs £20 and allows a visit of up to 6 months [1] [2]. Medical treatment is among the reasons a visitor may come [3].

Health care in Florence

Italy has a regionalised health service, the Servizio Sanitario Nazionale, which provides universal coverage to all citizens and legal residents. [4]

The European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies finds that the SSN delivers efficient and high quality care, with reforms under way to strengthen its resilience. [4]

Florence rose to economic and cultural pre-eminence under the Medici in the 15th and 16th centuries, and its historic centre of 505 ha, inscribed by UNESCO in 1982, holds 600 years of artistic activity. [5]

Arranging a visit from Florence

Message your concierge on WhatsApp or request an appointment here, and tell us the dates you can travel and the question you most want answered. We reply within the hour, at any time of day in Florence, and propose appointment times before you book a flight.

Where a visit includes scans or blood tests, we set them early in your stay, so that your doctor can go through every result with you before you leave. Specialist appointments are arranged on the days around it, and each fee is told to you before anything is confirmed.

Time zones and travel

Calls with your doctor are set for a sensible hour in Florence, once we know your time zone. If the flight is long, most people prefer to rest on the day they land and be seen the next morning, and your concierge plans for that.

Before you travel, a checklist

A little preparation lets a doctor see the whole picture on the first day.

• Your recent results and letters, in English where you can, on your phone or on paper
• A list of your medicines and their doses, with a letter from your doctor for any that are restricted
• The question you most want answered, written down
• The dates you are in the city, so your concierge can plan tests and results around them

When you are home again

Your doctor can follow up by telephone or video wherever you are, and your plan stays in your record. If you need care where you live, your concierge can help you find it and send your letters ahead, with your consent.

Your letters are written in English for any doctor in Florence to read, and your results remain yours to see once you are home. On your next visit, your doctor starts from the last one.
