Who can benefit from NHS Services?  

By deciding to have your treatment at Cobalt Hospital, you can benefit from:

• Access to an expert opinion

If we offer the care you require, ask your GP to refer you to Cobalt Hospital or contact us for more information.

What is Patient Choice?

Patient choice is a government initiative giving NHS patients more choice about where and when they have their treatment. 

Waiting times

From seeing your GP to treatment, the waiting time currently stands at 18 weeks within the NHS.

You may consider the option of obtaining your consultation, procedure or treatment sooner by opting to continue your treatment privately rather than as an NHS patient.

This means you can decide when to have your treatment and appointments to fit around your family/work commitments.
