To access private surgery in the UK, you’ll need to submit an enquiry. This is typically done online or by calling the healthcare provider and booking an initial consultation. Once the consultation takes place, a treatment plan is devised.

To access private surgery at Practice Plus Group, you’ll first need to book an appointment. During this initial consultation, a specialist will run a number of tests (e.g. x-rays and blood tests) to arrive at a diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your needs. If surgery is needed, we’ll be in touch to book you in at a time and place to suit you.

Read testimonials and reviews from past patients to give you a flavour of what to expect from each provider. You should also look for things like consultant experience, success rates, and how many procedures they carry out each year in your specific field.
