Four Week Pledge

At Practice Plus Group, with our Four Week Pledge, if you choose to have private hip or knee replacement surgery, or private cataract surgery at one of our hospitals or surgical centres, you will have your surgery within 4 weeks of your initial consultation.

If we are unable to undertake your surgery within the 4 weeks, you will receive a 10% discount on the cost of your surgery. That’s our time promise! Subject to terms and conditions.

Terms and conditions

Please read the following terms and conditions carefully. These terms and conditions govern the Four Week Pledge.

1. The Four Week Pledge guarantees that if Practice Plus Group are unable to perform a private (self-pay) hip or knee replacement surgery or cataract surgery within 4 weeks of an initial consultation, a 10% discount on surgery price will be applied.
2. Anyone who has one of the above surgeries in a Practice Plus Group Hospital or Surgical Centre (please see location list below) is eligible for the Four Week Pledge providing Private Patient Terms and Conditions have been signed and returned.
3. If the 10% discount is applicable, it is only redeemable against above stated surgery. It is not valid for use on outpatient appointments, diagnostic tests or any other surgery.
4. Any surgery first requires an initial consultation booking. Initial consultations must be booked via the Private Patient Contact Centre by emailing us directly at private.patient@practiceplusgroup.com or by calling 0330 053 6441. The ability to book an initial consultation is based on criteria which will be discussed before booking.
5. The Four Week Pledge begins on the day that your initial consultation takes place.
6. If you have had an initial consultation via the NHS at a Practice Plus Group Hospital or Surgical Centre, and you wish to switch to self-pay, the Four Week Pledge will begin on the day you confirm you would like to switch, providing no further initial consultation is required. If another consultation is required, it will begin on the day the latter consultation takes place.
7. An initial consultation does not guarantee that surgery will be available or possible. Suitability for surgical surgery is assessed at the initial consultation. No discount will be provided if surgery is not possible for any reason.
8. We are unable to offer specific consultants under the Pledge, however Practice Plus Group will endeavour to book with a preferred consultant if possible.
9. If you are consented for two or more surgeries during an initial consultation, the Four Week Pledge will only apply to the surgery which is due to take place first.
10. If applicable, the 10% discount cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discounts.
11. If applicable, the 10% discount will be applied when making payment for your surgery. If payment has already been made, a 10% discount will be refunded.
