With the news reported this week by Hugh Pym from the BBC that the NHS faced a record level of demand for care in March 2016 with all key performance targets in England being missed and the A & E figures being the worst since records began, they believe that people in the UK should begin to look at their options when it comes to healthcare.
Lianne Harrington CERT CII, Director and Senior Healthcare Consultant at SMP Healthcare has worked within the Healthcare insurance sector for many years and feels it is essential that the public should know exactly what is on offer to them when it comes to Private Medical Insurance.
“Looking at our own local area in Essex and specifically Broomfield and Colchester General Hospitals, MyNHS data confirms that Broomfield Hospital is amongst the worst for Infection Control and Cleanliness although 90.1% of A & E admissions are seen within 4 hours. More concerning is that Colchester General Hospital is Overall Inadequate under the Care Quality Commission which must raise alarm bells for the patients waiting for treatment at either facility. It is therefore no wonder that UK residents are starting to investigate alternative options.”

There are many types of Private Medical Insurance policies available from the Insurers within the UK market and the good news is that many of them are affordable. In fact some of them are actually fairly low in cost. Sadly there is a perception that Health Insurance is a luxury that is too costly for the masses when in fact this is not the case.
“With the uncertainty around the NHS stability due to events such as the Junior Doctors Dispute we are speaking to more people who want to know their options on a private basis. Products such as Speedy Diagnostics from AVIVA which gives prompt access to a diagnosis by a specialist and covers diagnostic tests such as MRI scans, blood tests, X-rays and ECG’s at a premium significantly lower than Private medical Insurance and the Hospital Treatment Insurance from Westfield Health (available for businesses) which covers over 60 hospital procedures such as knee replacements, hip replacements and gall stones, we can help people find affordable products that will help them beat the NHS Waiting lists.”
