Clinical governance

The clinical assurance behind every referral.

Everything a referring clinician needs to be confident in the handover, in plain terms.

Regulation

Every clinic is registered with and inspected by the Care Quality Commission against its five standards: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led. We publish each clinic's CQC report, so you can read the live rating for any clinic before you refer.

Medical oversight

Care is overseen by our Group Medical Advisor and Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr Mateen Durrani, on the GMC specialist register and RCPsych accredited, supported by Dr Sharad Haridas and a dedicated Head of Governance, Risk and Compliance. Detox is medically managed, with round the clock nursing for complex, higher risk withdrawals.

Your duty of care

We are built to support your GMC and NICE obligations: a named responsible clinician, consent led information sharing both ways, a discharge letter to you within 24 hours, and medicines reconciled on admission and discharge. The transfer of care is safe in both directions.

Safeguarding of adults and young people, DBS checked staff, medicines management, and data handled under UK GDPR and the Caldicott principles. UKAT is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.

Insurance

Recognised by the major health insurers

UKAT works with the UK's leading private medical insurers. If your patient is covered, we can handle the authorisation with their provider.

Working in partnership

Your patient stays your patient.

We work as an extension of your care team, not around you. From the referral through to discharge and beyond, you stay informed and in control of your patient's ongoing care.

Everything here is unlocked by your patient's signed release of information. You and your patient decide exactly what we share.
01

When you refer

From first contact

  • A named contact for you.One clinician as your direct line, so you are never chasing a switchboard.
  • You help shape the plan.We use your assessment and involve you in treatment planning.

Throughout the stay

  • Progress updates, as often as you want.You set the frequency and the format.
  • Secure, consent led sharing.We share only what your patient has agreed to, through secure channels.
  • We protect your relationship.We hand care back to you. We do not try to hold onto your patient.
03

At discharge and after

Handover and beyond

  • A pre discharge handover meeting.A three way meeting between you, your patient and our team.
  • A discharge letter within 24 hours.With medication reconciled and a continuing care plan, in line with NICE standards.
  • A fast track back, if they relapse.The door stays open, with a clear route to bring your patient back.
Optional

A dedicated case manager, if you would like one

Prefer a single point of coordination? We can assign a dedicated case manager to handle everything between you, your patient and the clinic, so nothing falls between the gaps and you have one named person to call from referral through to discharge.

Our handover process is designed to meet the GMC duty on continuity and safe transfer of care.
