Private Referrals
Should you wish to be referred to a private clinic, please research your private hospital and consultant of choice.
You will need to discuss insurance, self-funding prices, etc with them (the surgery cannot do this for you).
Once you have made your decision, please inform the surgery and the appropriate referral will be made.
Millions of patients on the waiting list for NHS care will be able to access support and check wait times at their fingertips thanks to a new online platform called My Planned Care.
The platform will allow patients and their carers to access information ahead of their planned appointment, operation or treatment through the touch of a button.
