A private doctor can provide healthcare in a hurry
Access to good healthcare for people and their families is a key concern for the citizens of Greater Manchester. They need to know they can get advice and treatment quickly and efficiently. They need healthcare that fits in around their hectic lives. Sometimes local GPs just can’t deliver.
The NHS does a sterling job, but is often stretched to capacity. When people think of a private doctor they think of medical insurance schemes or expensive Harley Street physicians. But the reality is that ordinary professional people often turn to private clinics when they need treatment in a hurry – and without waiting days for an appointment.
This kind of service acts as a safety net to the public health services. There’s no reason to sign up to an insurance scheme. People can simply make a same day appointment and pay to be seen as soon as it suits them. It’s fast, flexible and great value for money. Sometimes waiting days to be seen just isn’t an option. By paying a modest fee people get access to the doctor and the treatment they need without having to wait around.
For busy people a private clinic is a godsend. All the same services which the NHS provides are available – there’s just no queue or wait time. As private concerns these operations can afford to be more flexible than their counterparts in the NHS – with opening times that fit around working commitments. People can make evening or Saturday appointments too.
Sometimes healthcare needs to be on-demand – for the business traveller needing shots before a short notice trip overseas, for instance, or for the worried person needing an STD test quickly. It’s reassuring to know there’s ready access to a private doctor for those who require an immediate appointment.
