Specialist Centres for bowel cancer
Fast access to diagnosis and treatment
At such a worrying time, this can help give you the peace of mind you need. We've partnered with leading independent hospitals that meet strict quality criteria. This includes meeting a Care Quality Commission rating of ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’.
At a Specialist Centre, you can get all your initial diagnostic tests and the all-clear in one place. If you have Bupa insurance with full cancer cover, you can have a remote clinical triage followed by a face-to-face appointment.
Your initial diagnostic results will then be with you as soon as they’re available.
Cancer Direct Access for Bupa members

One of our trained advisers will take you through an assessment using national clinical guidance to advise you on your next steps. Depending on your cover and the nature of your symptoms, this could include referring you for an appointment with a consultant.
