Vitality hospital lists explained

Vitality offers different levels of hospital access:

• Core list — large network of regional hospitals across the UK, but excludes some central London hospitals
• London Care / Countrywide — includes major central London sites such as HCA and Cromwell, alongside nationwide coverage

Coverage outside London (2025)

The good news: Vitality’s Core and Countrywide lists both include extensive hospitals outside London. This means most patients in regional areas can access local Spire, Nuffield, Circle Health and Ramsay hospitals.

However, the exact list depends on your postcode and chosen plan. Always confirm before booking.

Examples: Regional hospitals on Vitality lists

• North West: Spire Manchester, Nuffield Chester, HCA Wilmslow
• Midlands: Spire Birmingham, Circle Nottingham, Nuffield Leicester
• South West: Nuffield Bristol, Spire Cardiff, Circle Bath
• Scotland: Nuffield Glasgow, Spire Edinburgh

2. Enter your postcode and treatment type
3. Confirm with your insurer before booking (avoid unexpected bills)

Costs & plan tiers

Vitality premiums depend on whether you pick Core or Countrywide access. Adding London hospitals raises costs, but many members outside London don’t need them.

Example:

• Vitality Core — often £10–£20/month cheaper
• Vitality Countrywide — broader coverage, including London
