Working with Priory
As a valued and trusted member of the Priory consultant network, you will have the support of the Priory therapy network and broader clinical team.
Providing patient access to the UK’s leading specialists
Priory is home to a diverse team of experts, many of whom are leading experts in their field. Our distinguished specialists are committed to providing the best care to each person who seeks support with us, and pride themselves on placing patients at the heart of their treatment journey.
This approach ensures that patients are allocated to the best expert for their needs and benefit from a tailored treatment programme that produces the most positive outcomes.
We also ensure that our specialists engage in continuous professional development in order to guarantee that their practice is guided by the very latest research and adheres to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, and other relevant standards.
Providing the support to enable a successful private practice
Consultant psychiatrists working in partnership with Priory will be working with the market leader, a well-known and respected brand.
This brings a range of benefits, including quality assurance and governance support, alongside support with any safeguarding concerns you may have. You'll also be part of a wider peer team consisting of some of the UK’s most eminent specialists.
There are a wide range of motivating factors that may lead consultant psychiatrists to move into private practice, whether that is in a full time capacity, alongside existing NHS work, or expanding your current private practice. These motivations will also differ depending on the stage of your career.
Priory's on-boarding process
For consultants moving into a visiting consultant partnership with Priory, we aim to make the on-boarding process as smooth as possible, ideally to fit into any notice periods you may need to serve.
On-boarding portal
Our online on-boarding portal will help guide you through the process and enables you to upload and submit the required documentation such as references, disclosure checks, medical clearance and indemnity insurance at the appropriate level. Someone will always be on hand to assist you throughout this process.
In addition, we'll provide further support and guidance as you move into private practice, such as the process of registering with private medical insurers.
Addressing your concerns
We'll work closely with you to address any queries and concerns you may have, along with agreeing the terms of your partnership with us.
This will include:
- Understanding how many hours you'd like to commit to working with Priory
- Agreement on the type of patients you'll support
- Assurances around the referral volumes you'll receive, and how you can grow your practice outside of the work you do directly with Priory
