At Practice Plus Group we offer private and NHS musculoskeletal and diagnostic assessment and treatment as part of our Clinical Assessment and Treatment Service (CATS).
Private and NHS diagnostics and musculoskeletal (MSK) assessment and treatment
We are leaders in clinical assessment and treatment services (CATS). Practice Plus Group have several CATS around the UK that provide assessment and treatment to both NHS and private patients. Our state-of-the-art equipment and experienced clinical team can quickly assess, diagnose and treat you so you can get back to feeling better faster.
Our CATS provide:
Clinical assessment
Diagnostic scans
Treatment
Assessment, diagnosis and treatment can often be combined in one appointment. The result is that patients have a much better experience. Our CATS also help relieve pressure on busy hospital outpatients, which is good for the NHS too.
Each CATS responds to local demands, providing mobile clinics where needed and covering different specialities. We’re bringing care closer to people’s homes.

Knee replacement, Birmingham – The care was professional and reassuring
My mother recently underwent her second total knee replacement surgery at Practice Plus Group, both performed by Mr Dehne.
The care she received was professional and reassuring. Mr Dehne’s obvious expertise and clear communication put her at ease and the nursing staff, doctors and physios were all so kind and always willing to help.
She was a little unwell after the operation and had to stay an extra night. A special thank you to the night shift nurses Jill and Allison. Her progress was closely monitored and pain managed as well as possible. Nothing was too much trouble. We’re extremely grateful for the care received.
The experience with PPG and Mr Dehne has been very positive – from the warm welcome on reception (Jackie is fabulous) though to being wheeled out to the car to go home (thank you Jordan), we are grateful for the care and compassion shown throughout both surgeries and look forward to a much better quality of life that two new knees will bring.

Hip replacement, Birmingham – “The care I received was exceptional”
I had a total hip replacement at this hospital 7 days ago and I can truly say the care I received was exceptional and second to none. I could not have asked for a better experience. All of the staff were wonderful and I cannot recommend this hospital enough. Jo and Sue also took great care of myself and partner (who was probably more nervous than me when I went down for surgery). My main nurse on duty was Natasha who was awesome throughout. Thank you so so much to everyone involved in my care. I am recovering really well post op and getting about easily on my crutches. I’m very happy!

Hip replacement, Birmingham – “First class. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”
I was facing a long wait locally [for hip surgery], but at Practice Plus Group Hospital, Birmingham I was seen quickly, and the care was fantastic. I had absolute trust in my consultant, Mr Shahid. Communication was excellent throughout and every single staff member was amazing. I did a flight of stairs and was home soon after. I’m now well on the road to recovery and getting more mobile every day. The whole experience was first class. I was treated like royalty – just like everyone else. I’m delighted with the result and would highly recommend it.”

Gastric sleeve, Barlborough – Thank you so much all of you!
I came here for a Sleeve Gastrectomy with the great Dr. Peter Vasas. My surgery went smoothly and I had the most amazing support from staff before and after. I couldn’t remember everyone’s name but Kerry, Jane, Atila and either Ava/Amy (theatre staff) were all amazing. Every staff member I spoke to was so kind and caring. I couldn’t commend this hospital more for being so well organised, hygienic, well staffed and great quality care. The private room I had was perfect, had everything I needed in it and I slept very comfortably. Would recommend having a general or orthopaedic surgery here to anyone who needed it ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much all of you!
