Private hospital prices in the UK – FAQs

Not quite found what you’re looking for? Our commonly asked pricing questions could help!

The cost of private surgeries in the UK can vary widely depending on factors. These include the following:

  • type of surgery
  • complexity of the procedure
  • location of the treatment centre
  • surgeon fees.

Yes. Many private healthcare providers in the UK offer financing options that allow patients to pay for private surgeries on a monthly basis. These financing options allow you to spread the cost of your surgery over time. Through our partner Chrysalis Finance, we offer approved patients a range of funding options to pay for one-off private treatments.

Private surgery can often provide quicker access to treatment. Patients have more control over selecting their surgeon, the hospital where the procedure will take place and the time and date of the procedure. For elective or cosmetic procedures not covered by the NHS, private surgery can be a good option.

The popularity of different types of surgeries can vary over time and across regions. Private orthopaedic surgeries such as knee and hip replacements are common, as is cataract surgery. The most common private treatments at Practice Plus Group are hip replacement, knee replacement, and cataract surgery.

Knee surgery, Plymouth – leading an active life once again

Thanks for performing total knee replacement on me. Due to your excellent skills I am improving daily and leading an active life once again!
by Chris Roberts

Hip surgery, Shepton Mallet – we have saved £6,500

My wife had a total hip replacement yesterday at Practice Plus Group Hospital, Shepton Mallet. They were absolutely brilliant and if like me you maybe needing surgery but on a long waiting list and considering going private, they are definitely worth getting a quote from. We have saved £6,500 by going to them and not another private hospital. Her consultation was 27th May, operation 13th June, home on 14th.

Cataract surgery, Devizes – cannot fault the care and attention

My wife recently had a cataract operation here and cannot fault the care and attention given to her by all the staff involved.

Hip surgery, Barlborough – I would recommend Practice Plus Group without a shadow of a doubt

I was particularly pleased with how well-mannered and attentive everyone was. I had my hip replacement operation at 11.30am and when I came out of surgery, a meal was waiting for me. I was told that if my blood test looked good and the surgeon was happy with me when he saw me at 5pm I could go home that night, and that’s what happened. It was seamless.
by Terence Watson

Knee replacement, Southampton – absolutely wonderful

I had a knee replacement in May 2022. I have to say that all of the staff from the consultant, the nursing staff and the entire team were absolutely wonderful.

Knee surgery, Barlborough – amazing facility

This was my 2nd time as an inpatient at Barlborough for knee replacement surgery and in my opinion you couldn’t have this surgery at a better place. It is truly outstanding.

The waiting times cover the period between consultation and actual procedure. They will vary according to the provider and where you live and they are subject to change.

Any surgery first requires an initial consultation booking. Initial consultations must be booked via the Private Patient Contact Centre by emailing us directly at privatepatient@practiceplusgroup.com or by calling 0330 053 6441. The availability to book an initial consultation is based on criteria which will be discussed before booking.

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 new waiting time 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.

An initial consultation does not guarantee that surgery will be available or possible. Suitability for surgical surgery is assessed at the initial consultation.

If you are consented for two or more surgeries during an initial consultation, the waiting time will only apply to the surgery which is due to take place first.

Practice Plus Group reserves the right to suspend and/or amend these terms and conditions without notice and at their sole discretion.
