Private hospitals in Edinburgh

Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows somewhere private that offers phototherapy in Edinburgh? Or nearby. I previously had phototherapy at Murrayfield Spire which cleared my psoriasis 3 years ago however it has come back. I have been referred on the NHS to dermatology but it is almost a 2 year long waiting list. Murrayfield Spire no longer offer this and I am struggling to find anywhere else. Thanks!

Sadly it is very difficult to get phototherapy privately. I live in West Yorkshire and have private health care with Bupa but they could only find a provider 240 miles away. You might be better buying or hiring or buying a unit yourself. On a positive not I was told it would be 39 weeks wait on NHS waiting list so expected to have to wait until next year but started two weeks ago and all is going well so far. Good luck
