Medical Admissions in Manchester

Medical admission is the process of being admitted to a hospital for treatment for a medical condition.

Are you poorly and need to be admitted to hospital? You can contact The Alexandra Hospital to be admitted as a private patient. If you have already visited an NHS hospital because you are unwell or recovering from surgery, you can be admitted to us to continue your healthcare journey privately. Here, you can benefit from your own room with an en-suite bathroom and other excellent facilities. 

You will need to be admitted under the care of your consultant, which our nursing team will help co-ordinate for you.

You can self-fund your medical admission. We will ask for a deposit to fund your care, which will be used to cover all the care you receive with us, along with any testing that is needed. Your consultant might invoice you separately for your care while you are in the hospital, so you should check with them what their fees are.

Some insurers cover medical admissions, but we recommend contacting your insurer in advance to ensure your policy covers your admission. If you need to be admitted outside of insurer working hours, we will need to take a deposit before your admission until we receive authorisation from your insurance provider. Any money paid which exceeds the cost of the care you have received will be refunded back to you as soon as possible.

Medical patients can be admitted through our private walk-in centre. Our doctors can also refer you to one of our consultants. There are several other ways you can be medically admitted to our hospital.

Outpatients

If you were to see one of our consultants in our outpatient area and they felt you needed to be admitted, they could do this for you.

GP

If you are advised by your GP that you need hospital treatment for a medical condition you can choose to come to us. Your GP would simply need to contact the hospital and refer your care to one of our admitting consultants.

Hospital transfer

If you are an inpatient in an NHS hospital and wish to be transferred to us, your consultant can refer you to one of our admitting consultants, when they accept you as a patient then transfer can be arranged providing a bed is available.
