We understand that coming into hospital can be a stressful and worrying time and our aim is to make it as easy and straightforward as we can. Jodie Herbert, our Private Patient Account Manager will support our private patients through every stage of their care from referral to discharge and can help with a range of things, from insurance claims, to transport and anything in between.
Priority Appointments
In essence, paying for your treatment means that you are treated at your convenience rather than to fit in with the NHS. Private patients can choose when they have their treatment, which can make a real difference. For some this simply means being seen as quickly but for others it’s simply about being able to choose a time which fits into their lifestyle. Perhaps you want to be treated in good time to be able to recover from your operation for a special event like a wedding or a holiday. Others find that due to work commitments, the uncertainty of when they will get their appointment or operation causes problems, especially for those who run their own business. Jodie can help arrange all of this for you ensuring that your personal circumstances are taken into consideration.
Choose your Consultant
Mount Stuart Hospital works with more than 70 consultants in range specialties from Orthopaedics to Gynaecology, ENT to Dermatology and so much more. Private patients can choose the consultants they wish to see unlike NHS patients are not given a choice of consultant, or they may be treated by a member of a consultant’s team rather than the named consultant. Jodie can talk you through your options and help find you the Consultant whom will remain dedicated to your care throughout your stay and will provide follow-up consultations once you leave hospital.
