About Newmedica

Newmedica has a network of eye clinics and surgical centres across England, and are dedicated to helping people protect their sight, so they can get back to doing what they love. Everything they do is guided by our commitment to deliver personal patient care.

Their story

Newmedica is unique among ophthalmology providers. They were founded by a former eye patient who teamed up with a leading Ophthalmology consultant to transform the patient experience and deliver the best care possible. Their vision was to change lives through better sight and vision and make a positive difference to peoples’ lives – and that's still at the heart of each of Newmedica clinic today.

They understand that being diagnosed with an eye condition can feel scary, that's why they always take the time to understand individual patients needs and offer personal care and reassurance throughout.

NHS treatment at Newmedica

The NHS now offers you a choice of where you’d like to receive your NHS‑funded treatment to help you make the best choices for your circumstances and give you greater control of your care. Newmedica provide services for NHS ICBs, NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts, and other providers of NHS‑funded services across England.

They work in partnership with the NHS to provide specialist treatment and care for a range of eye conditions. So, whichever eye condition you need treatment for, they're there to take care of you.

Who is entitled to receive NHS treatment?

You’ll be entitled to get NHS‑funded treatment with us if you usually (and lawfully) live in England, which means you’re known as 'ordinarily resident'.

Here’s how you can get referred

If your optician or GP suspects or diagnoses you with an eye condition, they’ll explain all the treatment options, as well as where you can choose to receive your treatment. If you’d like to choose Newmedica, just let them know and they’ll make all the arrangements for your referral.

What is private treatment?

Newmedica's range of private treatments and services are available for people who opt to cover the cost of their treatment themselves or it have covered by their private medical insurance.

Why 'go private' with Newmedica?

There are a number of reasons why some Newmedica patients choose to go private. It might be that the treatment they need isn’t available on the NHS, they’d like to have more options on their treatment plans, or they’re after more flexibility around their appointment and treatment types.
