Benefits:
A specialist doctor:- As a private patient you are treated by a consultant who is an experienced specialist doctor. In normal circumstances if you require an anaesthetic it will be administered by a specialist anaesthetist.
- By using your private health insurance, the money received assists the hospital to buy additional equipment, maintain facilities and continue to provide a superior service.
- TV rental
- Newspapers
- Phonecalls
- Visitor meals
In addition, all private inpatients receive a toiletries gift pack on admission (includes tissues, conditioning shampoo, shower cap, vanity set, soap, toothbrush and toothpaste).
Private rooms- As a private patient, you may request a single room (if you have appropriate private health coverage). However access cannot be guaranteed as a priority is given to patients with medically special needs.
