About Ayla Mustafa
The clinic running smoothly.
A private medical clinic doesn't run itself. Behind every clinical consultation is a substantial layer of operational work — from making sure rooms are equipped and clean, to staffing rotas, insurance authorisations, billing, complaint handling, regulatory compliance and the hundred small things that have to happen on time, every time.
Ayla holds that operational responsibility at Tower Bridge Hospital London. As Practice Manager she works alongside the Clinical Director (Dr Bolat) on CQC compliance, complaints handling under our published policy, patient liaison for issues that need escalation beyond reception, insurance partner liaison, and the operational standards that keep the clinic safe and patient-focused.
Patients who need to raise a concern, ask about insurance authorisations, escalate a complaint or speak to someone about a non-clinical matter can ask to speak with Ayla directly. She speaks English and Turkish.
What they do
Where they help.
Where they fit into the clinic. The day-to-day work and the boundary of scope.
CQC compliance support
Working alongside the Clinical Director on the administrative side of regulatory compliance — policies, audit, complaint logs, incident reporting, and the documentation CQC inspectors expect to see.
Patient liaison
Escalation point for patient concerns that go beyond reception — complaints, billing disputes, insurance authorisation problems, scheduling difficulties for complex pathways.
Insurance & payment
Liaison with major UK private medical insurers (Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, Aviva, Cigna, WPA) on authorisations, claims and billing. Coordination for self-pay patients with complex pathways or multiple specialties.
