Did you know we can provide your NHS treatment?

Did you know that if you need to see an NHS specialist you have the right to choose any hospital or treatment centre in England?

This right to choose means that you can decide where to have treatment for most specialities including orthopaedics, ophthalmology and general surgery.

Choosing where to be treated is important as clinicians and researchers agree that if you choose a hospital in which you feel comfortable and confident, you’re likely to improve both the result of your treatment and your experience while you are in hospital.

HMT St Hugh’s Hospital is part of a UK-wide initiative called Choose and Book, which allows patients to select where they would like to receive their treatment at a time that is convenient for them.

Choose and Book offers greater flexibility for patients to select the right healthcare provider for their specific needs. If location or transport is an issue, it’s great to know that you’re able to select a hospital or clinic close to home.

You can also book your appointment at a time to suit you which is ideal if you have to juggle work, childcare or looking after elderly relatives.
