Summary:

What happens when a patient becomes the customer and health is a consumer product, where money gives you access to the best available care? This fascinating and entertaining observational documentary series looks inside the hidden and privileged world of private medicine in Harley Street, the world famous and iconic British institution. Home to the greatest concentration of medical expertise anywhere in the world, with doctors and clinicians representing every medical discipline, Harley Street is an exclusive and expensive one-stop shop for everything from cutting-edge cancer treatment to the booming business of cosmetic surgery. But while the wealthy form a significant part of its custom, Harley Street is also the place of last resort for desperate people. Inside Harley Street tells the stories from both patients and clinicians' points of view as it offers unprecedented behind the scenes access to a rarefied and elite institution. Episode 3: This episode looks at those practitioners offering complementary and alternative therapies.
