At Spire Leeds Hospital in Roundhay, an initial consultant consultation typically costs around £200-320, with follow-ups £100-180. Common diagnostics run around £350-600 for an MRI, £300-550 for a CT scan and £150-300 for an ultrasound. For surgery, typical all-inclusive fixed-price ranges are roughly £11,500-16,000 for a hip replacement, £11,000-15,500 for a knee replacement, £2,800-4,500 for a hernia repair and £1,000-1,600 for a colonoscopy. These are indicative Yorkshire ranges, not quotes, and Spire provides a written fixed-price quote for most procedures. Self-pay patients pay the hospital directly, often with finance options, while insured patients need pre-authorisation. Always get the fixed-price quote in writing before committing, as it should confirm surgeon, anaesthetist and aftercare.

Spire Leeds Hospital is at Jackson Avenue, Roundhay, Leeds, LS8 1NT, in north Leeds about three miles (around 10 minutes) from the city centre. It occupies the historic Roundhay Hall, a Grade II listed building. There is free patient parking on site. By car it’s reached via the A58 and the A6120 ring road, with good access from Bradford, Wakefield, Harrogate, York and Wetherby. By public transport, several bus routes serve Roundhay from central Leeds, including the 12 and 13A, with a journey time of around 20-25 minutes. The hospital’s phone number is 0113 218 5977, and it’s open Monday to Thursday 8am to 8pm, Friday 8am to 6pm, and weekends 8am to 1pm.

It depends on how you’re paying. For most self-pay consultations you can self-refer and book directly, without a GP referral, though a referral is still helpful so the consultant has your background. If you’re using private health insurance, most insurers require a GP referral letter before they’ll authorise the appointment, so check your policy first. Either way, it’s worth confirming with the hospital or your insurer before booking. Spire Leeds has over 300 consultants across more than 30 specialties, and if using insurance it’s sensible to cross-reference your insurer’s approved consultant list to avoid any shortfall in fees. The hospital can guide you on the right consultant for your condition when you enquire.

Access is fast, which is the main reason people choose private care. Most outpatient consultations at Spire Leeds are available within about two to five working days, with diagnostic scans bookable in a similar timeframe and results often back within 48 to 72 hours. Elective surgery is usually scheduled within a few weeks of your pre-operative assessment. This compares with NHS waits that can run many months, and often over a year, for routine orthopaedic procedures in Yorkshire. You also see the same consultant throughout, from consultation to treatment and follow-up. If you have urgent or red-flag symptoms, however, that’s a matter for your GP or emergency care, not a routine private booking.

Yes, in most cases. Spire Leeds Hospital is recognised by all the major UK health insurers, including Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality, WPA, The Exeter, Freedom and Saga, though whether your specific policy covers it depends on your hospital list tier and cover level. Some cheaper plans use a restricted hospital list that may or may not include Spire Leeds, so it’s worth checking. Before booking, you’ll normally need pre-authorisation from your insurer, and your treatment may be subject to your outpatient limits and excess. Comparing insurers on both price and hospital access is the best way to make sure the hospital you want is covered, especially if Spire Leeds is your preferred local option.
