Private Healthcare Hospitals

If you do require ongoing care or follow-up treatment, you may decide that, rather than being treated on the NHS, you would like to be seen at a private hospital or healthcare facility. Operations and procedures commonly carried out privately include fixed price hip and knee surgery, removal of cataracts and treatment of glaucoma, among others.

In some circumstances, private treatment may provide access to treatments, medicines or services that are not routinely available through the NHS.

Private Healthcare is usually paid for out-of-pocket or through private insurance.
