Procedures carried out by NWS in independent hospitals offer clear advantages:
- NWS provides NHS patients with the independent option at no cost to the patient.
- NWS operates an individually focused booking and appointment service, with the ability to offer the patient a range of dates for their appointment and procedure.
- NWS improves on national waiting times for all surgical procedures.
- NWS guarantees that the operation will be performed by consultant surgeons and consultant anaesthetists. All the surgeons and anaesthetists working with NWS are fully accredited NHS consultants, and all patients under the care of NWS receive 24 hour consultant support for the whole of their in-patient stay.
- If patients have a preference NWS will endeavour to offer a choice of surgeon.
- If patients have previously had an operation by one of our surgeons they may choose to be cared for by the same surgeon.
- Clean and comfortable accommodation with modern facilities. Many rooms are ensuite and every patient bedroom has a television and a personal telephone.
- Very low MRSA rates.
