NHS Services

Thanks to Patient Choice, patients in England now have the option to attend Buckshaw Hospital, and indeed, other Ramsay Healthcare facilities for NHS treatment.

Who can benefit from NHS Services?  

Any patients choosing to have their NHS treatment at a Ramsay hospital will benefit from the following benefits: 

Ask your GP if you could choose to have your treatment at Buckshaw Hospital or contact us for more information.

The Medicines Formulary

The Medicines Formulary has been designed as a tool to assist in promoting safe, cost-effective prescribing within the NHS. The aim is that the Formulary will cover 80-90% of prescribing within the Health Community although we recognise that there will be instances where prescribing outside of the formulary will be both necessary and appropriate. 

What is Patient Choice?

Patient Choice is a government initiative introduced to give NHS patients more choice about where, when and what time they are treated. NHS patients in England who require hospital treatment can now choose any participating hospital in the country that can meet their needs. One of your options could be a Ramsay Health Care hospital or treatment centre.

Waiting times

The current NHS waiting time from seeing your General Practitioner to treatment is a maximum of 18 weeks.
