What happens at my appointment?

We have a large team of consultants so you can be certain you’ll be seen and treated by someone who specialises in your symptoms or condition.

We offer fast access to the consultant of your choice, normally within 48 hours. Don’t hesitate to tell us if you’re more comfortable seeing a male or a female specialist.

Together, you and your consultant can decide the best route for you and develop a tailor-made treatment package to achieve optimum results. With significant medical advances made in gynaecology in recent years, many treatments now have minimally invasive alternatives.

Our high infection control standards and excellent nursing care mean you can feel confident in the care and facilities available at our hospital.

If you are paying for yourself, we can usually offer an upfront cost which you can then choose to pay in full or access one of our easy payment options.

If you have insurance, we can arrange direct settlement with your insurance provider, although you should check in advance to see if your treatment is covered. For more information, visit our private medical insurance page.
