Get treatment with Bupa
Whatever support or treatment you need, we’re here to help
We have a range of healthcare specialists who can recommend the best treatment options for your needs. Plus, for some things, you can get direct access to a specialist straight away - you won’t need to get a GP referral first*.
It’s quick and easy to start treatment from the comfort of your own home. You can contact our team by webchat, phone, or through your My Bupa account, or make a digital appointment in the My Bupa app with Blua - our digital healthcare platform.
No insurance? No problem. You can access a wide range of services through our pay-as-you-go treatment options.

Your mental health or wellbeing
Your mind is just as important as your body. That’s why you have access to dedicated advice and support from our mental health specialists.

Book a digital healthcare appointment
It’s easy to book an appointment using the My Bupa app. Just choose ‘Treatment and care’ on the home screen to get started.
You’ll need to answer a few questions about your medical history and symptoms, then pick a date and time when you’re available.
You can speak to a GP or advanced nurse practitioner from 6am to 10pm on weekdays or 8am to 10pm on weekends and bank holidays.
When you join your appointment
We’ll listen to your concerns, talk through your symptoms, and answer any questions you have. We can explain your treatment options and help you understand what to do next.
If you need further treatment, we’ll check that it’s included in your cover. Once we’ve confirmed that it is, we'll help you find the right specialist for your needs.
We’ll give you a ‘pre-authorisation’ code, which you’ll show to your specialist when you see them - this just lets them know that Bupa has approved your treatment.
