If you haven't been referred onto Odycy, just search for the test, treatment or appointment that you need. Choose a provider that fits your schedule or meets your budget, and book directly.

We know that it can be difficult figuring out how to get private medical treatment in the UK, so we do everything we can to make this process fast and to help you feel supported. Odycy can help you to find and book everything from same-day in-person doctor appointments, to MRI scans and blood tests, and even help you to schedule more affordable surgery sooner with a provider of your choice. Most tests, treatments and appointments can be booked directly online with the provider you choose. For some services, like surgical procedures, after choosing the provider with the best price, location or rating for you, you can submit a fast form inquiry to get called back for booking, usually the same day. If you're having trouble finding what you need, you can book an appointment with an online doctor who can write a referral onto Odycy.

No, most tests and treatments can be booked without a referral. A referral is required for scans that expose you to ionising radiation, or when the provider needs to be sure that they have someone else who is looking after you who they can send your results to for follow-up. Each provider determines whether or not they require a referral, depending on the pathways they have in place for explaining test results. This is in line with best medical practice and national guidelines. Tests or treatments requiring a referral are clearly marked with a Referral symbol on the providers profile. You can always ask Odycy if you have any questions, or book an appointment with a doctor online to discuss your results.

You can get a referral from an online doctor on Odycy. A short online or telephone doctor appointment with any of our participating providers is an easy way to get an electronic referral, that can be sent directly to your inbox. From the referral you can explore nearby providers, and compare price, rating and appointment times for the tests or treatment that you need. If you have a paper or PDF referral, just upload it to Odycy. We'll make it electronic and you can use it on Odycy to find and book the test or treatment that you need.

Depending on which healthcare provider you book with, you'll have your results either given to you or sent back to the referring clinician. Each provider has pathways in place to make sure that all results are appropriately followed up and that you or your doctor are given the information that you need.
