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.
