CircleBath extends Choose&Book: Sep 10

CircleBath offers wide range NHS services

20 September 2010

Access to state of the art facilities at Circle Bath hospital have widened for NHS patients with an extension of the range of surgical and treatment options available through the Choose & Book system.

NHS patients across the region will now be presented with the option of being treated at the newly opened hospital's ENT, Gynaecology, General Surgery, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics, Hand Surgery and Vascular Clinics.  The breadth of treatments offered by the individual Clinics is also expected to grow in the coming months.

"A patient's right to choose where they undertake treatment is extremely important and there are many different factors to consider including post-operative recovery time.  CircleBath is delighted to be working with the NHS to offer a comprehensive range of services that meet the needs of the surrounding communities," explained Circle Partner, Mark Aichroth.

He added: "All of our clinics are led by consultants who are experts in their field and therefore we are able to offer every patient the highest level of care coupled with an experience that is uniquely tailored to their own requirements."

The private hospital, which is run as a partnership, has been working closely with some local GPs to build a range of services that will help to reduce patient waiting times and offer extended choice to those requiring treatment for a wide range of health issues.

CircleBath, which opened earlier this year, has four operating theatres, 22 day case beds as well as 26 single rooms and 2 double rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms.

The Choose & Book system has proven to be a successful method of managing NHS waiting lists as well as giving patients a greater choice about where they are treated.
