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, amongst others.

For many people, going private gives them fast access to treatment, a choice of where they want to be treated (and when), a choice of consultant or specialist, and even the option to have treatment that is not currently available on the NHS.
