Can I see a consultant privately then have treatment on NHS?

No, it's possible to seek private treatment from a consultant or specialist without being referred by your GP. However, the British Medical Association (BMA) believes that, in most cases, it's best practice for patients to be referred for specialist treatment by their GP.

Can you pay for a private room in an NHS hospital?

If you are an NHS patient, you may be able to benefit from the use of one of our amenity beds. Amenity beds are available to NHS patients who wish to pay for the privacy of a single en-suite room whilst their treatment remains on the NHS.
