About this section
There is an alternative to NHS healthcare. You have the option of getting private health treatment for any medical condition - if you are prepared to finance the costs yourself.
You can choose to pay for private healthcare through
medical insurance
, or pay for it yourself each time you use the service. You can find a private medical practitioner by asking your GP for a referral or for details of an expert in the type of care you need.
Private healthcare is a popular choice if:
You wish to avoid a NHS waiting list for a specific treatment
The required medical treatment is not available on the NHS
You wish to choose a convenient date for a hospital operation
You wish to be treated by a consultant of your choice
You would like luxury accommodation while undergoing treatment
You wish to have a second option on treatment, or a diagnosis you received on the NHS
You would like a health screening
