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.

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.
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.
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.
We are committed to patient safety so all patients, regardless of age, have a pre-operative assessment by a member of our nursing team and a consultant anaesthetist, if necessary. Following this, if the patient is deemed fit for surgery and anaesthetically stable, an admission date will be confirmed.
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.
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 NHS pathway.
