Knee surgery, Shepton Mallet – everyone is 110% dedicated

I would just like to say a very big thank you to everyone at Practice Plus Group Hospital, Shepton Mallet from the receptionist who welcomes you with a smile and puts you at ease, the nurses who chat to you and make you feel special before your operation letting you know you’re in very safe hands, the surgery staff and doctors who operate and care for you during the operation. The after care quality has just been excellent, a nurse called me the day after I got home to make sure I was OK and didn’t need anything, the Physio staff making sure I’m recovering well, everyone at this hospital is 110% dedicated to caring for the patient to make sure you make a full recovery as fast as possible, thank you ever so much.

Gastroscopy, Shepton Mallet – 10/10 to all staff

Came in for Gastroscopy (stomach observation via camera) at the Practice Plus Group Hospital, Shepton Mallet. From the helpful smiling face at reception to being assessed by staff, and discussion in theatre, all were helpful to put my mind at rest. The dedicated staff kept me calm which really helped me. A speedy report followed 10 minutes later, while waiting in a comfy chair. It did not feel clinical at all it had that personal touch, so 10/10 to all staff.

Hip surgery, Shepton Mallet – back walking almost five miles a day

I was amazed at both the lack of hip and knee pain and the fact that I could walk so soon after the surgery. I’m making a fantastic recovery and am back walking almost five miles a day, including steep hills, and doing the exercises advised by the physiotherapist. From my very first visit, the care and consideration I received from the staff at the hospital was wonderful. Everyone I met in every role was wholly engaged as they performed it – receptionists, cleaners, X-ray technicians, nurses, doctors and other health professionals. My experience was extremely well managed.

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.

Whether you’re an NHS-funded patient, paying for yourself or using private medical insurance, with our short waiting times, unrivalled Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings and high levels of cleanliness and infection control, we’ll make sure you’re looked after. In fact, we were the first provider to have all services rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC.

By focusing on a select range of specialities, we concentrate our efforts on being the best provider of the procedures we offer. Our hospitals are centres of excellence, with consultants regularly performing extremely high volumes of the surgery they specialise in and achieving outstanding results.

As a group of specialist hospitals we only provide scheduled surgery, which means patients can feel confident that their procedure will happen as planned, without sudden cancellation because of competing priorities.
