What is my commitment to 10 Harley Street?
Many practitioners are understandably hesitant about signing up to a long lease in Harley Street. That is why we offer a real alternative. Your initial commitment is only six months and thereafter we require just three months' notice from you on any of our Licence options. This gives you great flexibility and, more importantly, peace of mind.How does this compare to the rest of Harley Street?
No.10 provides extremely cost-effective facilities for small and medium-sized practices. We compare very favourably with other establishments in Harley Street since we believe our elegant accommodation and experienced administrative staff represent exceptional value for money. Successful practitioners are key to our business.Accreditation
We guard jealously the international reputation of 10 Harley Street and, therefore, demand the highest possible standards of practitioners who use the House. A wide range of established medical practitioners work from No. 10 - surgeons, physicians, general practitioners, psychiatrists, psychologists, plus many more respected complementary therapists. Some are world leaders in their field; others are just embarking on private practice in central London. Ten Harley Street is highly cautious about those whom it accepts as Licensees. We screen each applicant to ensure that they meet the accreditation criteria agreed with our Advisory Panel, carry appropriate insurance, and fit with the ethos of the House. This is important to maintain our reputation as a centre of excellence, and to ensure that you will feel comfortable with fellow practitioners. All Licence Agreements are issued subject to the satisfactory receipt of:- Evidence of GMC registration or accreditation by an equivalent recognised professional body
- Evidence of professional indemnity insurance cover
- A copy of your Curriculum Vitae. Since our practitioners work across the spectrum of healthcare, we take guidance from experts in complementary and orthodox medicine to ensure that practitioners who use our facilities are trained and qualified to the highest professional standards.
- Proof of residential address
