Don't think you can afford to go private? Think again!

By LBV

01 Jun 2011

Over half a million people in Britain have private medical treatment for a great number of reasons, including: the guarantee of a single private room with en-suite facilities, lower infection rates, individual tailored care, faster access to treatment, wanting to have treatments unavailable or limited on the NHS, as well as more flexible appointment and visiting times and ability to choose your consultant for ongoing care.

Many people opt for private healthcare because their employer offers private medical insurance as a workplace benefit. However patients don¹t need insurance to access private treatment. In fact, thousands of Britons each year choose to self-pay for private treatment or take advantage of payment schemes.

At BMI Healthcare hospitals like BMI Gisburne Park in Gisburn, we make it even easier to fund your own treatment. We offer the BMI Card*, which allows you to spread out the cost of your treatment. We also offer many of our procedures at a fixed price.

Gisburne Park offers a wide range of services and treatments including diagnostic services, physiotherapy and minor or complex surgery.

The hospital is a Grade 1 listed building set in beautiful parkland with 35 private patient bedrooms all with en-suite facilities, two theatres, spacious consulting rooms and a fully equipped physiotherapy suite. Best of all, we are proud to have a 99 per cent patient satisfaction rate.
