While the NHS provides excellent healthcare, it doesn’t cover everything. From long wait times to limited dental and optical benefits, many UK residents—especially returning expats and internationally mobile professionals—seek added peace of mind through voluntary top-up health insurance.

At Harrison Brook, we offer independent, FCA-regulated advice to help you supplement NHS care with flexible private health coverage tailored to your needs.

Why Consider a Top-Up Health Plan in the UK?

  • Long NHS waiting lists for non-urgent procedures or specialist referrals.
  • Limited coverage for dental, optical, physiotherapy, or alternative treatments.
  • Exclusions and delays in accessing private diagnostics and consultant-led care.
  • Pre-existing conditions or gaps if you’ve just returned to the UK and NHS eligibility is delayed.

Top-up health insurance helps bridge these gaps, providing faster access and broader support while keeping costs manageable.

What We Offer

  • Modular policies: Add cover for outpatient care, hospital stays, dental, vision, maternity, or mental health services.
  • Private GP access: Get faster, more flexible appointments alongside NHS care.
  • Portable cover: Maintain protection if you travel or work abroad periodically.
  • Budget flexibility: Tailor premiums and excess levels to your financial plan.

Our team will review your situation—whether you’re newly returned to the UK, planning a relocation, or simply want to enhance your family’s protection—and recommend a personalised solution.

Ideal For:

  • UK returnees waiting for NHS registration or access to begin.
  • Expat professionals now living in the UK who want enhanced care without losing international flexibility.
  • British residents looking for faster treatment and additional coverage without the full cost of private medical insurance.
