NHS Referrals

From time to time we do hear feedback about the information and criteria surrounding referrals of NHS patients, so we would like to take this opportunity to correct some of the current misunderstandings and help you get to know Ramsay Health Care better.

Patient Choice

Patients should be offered a minimum choice of 5 providers, where clinically appropriate, of where they would like to go for their treatment.

National Tariff

All private providers are paid the same as NHS providers under the agreed national tariff for inpatient and outpatient procedures. It does not cost any more for an NHS patient to have outpatient treatments or diagnostic scans at a Ramsay Health Care facility.

Clinical Prioritisation Policy

Ramsay Health Care Hospital's adhere to the same CPP (Clinical Prioritisation Policy) as their local trust. We follow the local CCG elective referral guidelines when accepting patients.

Eligibility

All patients who consultants deem appropriate for care at one of our Hospital's are eligible to receive treatment in line with our contract with the NHS.

Patient Safety

All patients prior to surgery will have a pre-operative assessment by a member of our nursing staff and if appropriate an assessment by an anaesthetist. If following this, the patient is deemed fit for surgery and anaesthetically stable, we will proceed with treatment. We do treat patients with higher BMI and over the age of 70, however please refer patients in line with your ICB criteria based access policy. 

Additional Charges

Some NHS patients avoid choosing a Ramsay Health Care Hospital because they are worried that there may be additional charges. There are no hidden fees or charges for patients who choose to have their NHS treatment at one of our hospital's.

Consultant Led Care

With more than 3000 consultants practising at a Ramsay Health Care Hospital throughout the UK, we are proud to provide consultant led care throughout a patient's pathway.
