When you need treatment, the last
thing you want to do is wait......
With the demand for services in healthcare ever
increasing patients are finding that this is impacting on the
amount of time they have to wait for treatment. As a result people
are choosing to “go private” if they need hospital care. In 2010
thousands of private patients were admitted to the Ramsay
Springfield Hospital.
Private health care is available to you if you have Private
Medical Insurance or you are able to pay for treatment yourself. If
your family doctor is referring you to hospital to see a consultant
you can simply ask for a private referral.
if you are paying for treatment yourself then you can contact
the Hospital’s enquiry line for an estimate of costs –

At all Ramsay Hospitals we offer private patients Premium Care benefits –
and provide high quality levels of care and comfort.
No waiting list
When you go privately there is no lengthy waiting list – This
means you can get fast access to diagnostic tests and Consultant
Specialist advice as well as early admission to hospital if you
need treatment.
Expert Clinical Care
Private patient care is led by a Consultant Specialist and your
treatment will be delivered by that Consultant rather than a junior
doctor. The Consultant is supported by a friendly, skilled team of
nurses and healthcare professionals; there is a doctor on site 24
hours per day. Our nurses are well qualified and experienced in
caring for their patients.

You can be reassured that the Ramsay Springfield hospital has
high standards of clinical quality and safety and is licensed by
the Care Quality Commission. The hospital has effective infection
control measures with cleanliness a top priority.
