Private Medical Insurance
Health Insurance, also known as private medical insurance (PMI), covers the cost of medical treatment undertaken on a private basis, rather than through the NHS. It usually means you can avoid long waiting lists and enjoy private facilities.
It gives peace of mind and the confidence that you and your loved ones will have access to some of the best possible treatments, consultants and facilities should you need them.
- Avoid lengthy waiting lists
- Enjoy private facilities, often with access to TV, phone, and the internet
- Choice of consultant and hospital
