How it works

What happens when you check a clinic.

Unmist is a free, independent way to look up UK private clinics. You search, we lay out the public facts, and you walk into your consultation knowing exactly what to ask. No medical advice, no rankings. Here's each step in detail.

Step 01 · Search

Three ways in.

By clinic

Search a specific clinic name and land on its factsheet.

“Taktouk Clinic”

By place

Search by town, area or postcode and browse nearby clinics by straight-line distance.

“Mayfair” or “SW1”

Near me

Use your device location to see nearby clinics. Location permission is requested only when you choose it.

“Find clinics near me”

Step 02 · Read

A clinic factsheet — the public record on one page.

The foundation

Core

Search for a UK private clinic. Where a factsheet exists, we pull together what the clinic's own website shows — named practitioners and their qualifications, pricing, risks, aftercare, treatments — with links to the GMC, GDC or NMC register and, where we have matched one, the official CQC record. We also say clearly what isn't shown.

The questions, ready to send.

A Consultation Prep Kit.

Every factsheet generates a short checklist you can copy, email or print before your appointment.

Send

Your message to the clinic.

Every factsheet builds your message — the questions that matter for your treatment, from what's clearly shown on their pages and what isn't. Tick, copy, send.

Who we cover

Every place that touches your body.

Because the UK has no single gatekeeper, we treat every category with the same factual rigour — whether you're booking a surgeon or walking into a high-street salon.

Aesthetic clinics

Anti-wrinkle, dermal filler, skin boosters, energy devices. Many describe themselves as "doctor-led" — we show which practitioners the clinic names on its own website.

Private dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is regulated, but the marketing language often isn’t. We keep the two clearly separated.

Some high-street salons offer injectables and energy treatments, not always with a regulated healthcare professional involved. Worth checking who treats you.
