Thinking about 'Going Private'?
If you’re living with ongoing back or neck pain, waiting for treatment can be frustrating. Choosing to go private means you can often be seen more quickly, with faster access to diagnostic scans, consultations, and treatments tailored to your needs.
Going private doesn’t mean you have to stop seeing your NHS GP or specialist. In fact, many patients choose a combination of NHS and private care to get the best of both worlds—continuity of NHS support, with the added benefit of quicker access and more flexible appointment times privately.
Benefits of going private:
- Faster access – reduced waiting times for consultations, scans (MRI, CT, X-ray) and treatments.
- Specialist care – direct access to an experienced consultant spinal surgeon and multidisciplinary care.
- Choice and flexibility –choose your appointment times and locations.
- Continuity – your GP and NHS team remain involved in your overall care if you wish.
What to expect:
- Initial consultation – a detailed assessment by a consultant spinal surgeon
- Investigations – diagnostic scans (MRI, X-ray, CT) arranged promptly, if needed.
- Personalised treatment plan – tailored to the individual, ranging from physiotherapy and pain management to surgical intervention if required.
- Follow-up and continuity of care – ensuring patients are supported throughout their treatment journey.
