    I need a GP referral for private healthcare.

    I then end up in the same hospitals with the same staff when I have had private investigations.
    I get a referral using a private doctor via a video call. Can speak to a GP usually same day, and then they fast track private treatment meaning see a specialist at a private hospital within 48 hrs max.

      And who is providing such a great service and at what cost?

        If anyone wants to do the same thing, I used this. https://doctorcareanywhere.com/what-...als-fit-notes/

        It was included in my private medical insurance plan, but otherwise is costs £150 a year if you want to pay for it.

          AXA Healthcare, full coverage including all pre-existing conditions cost approx £450 a month.

          Less that the cost of running a 911 Turbo S per month.

            Yeah, I used to pay about that to BUPA. It goes up quite steeply as you get older though. That said, I wouldn't be without it.

              Most here would rather spend the money on a fancy Merc SUV for the other half instead of looking after the families health.

                  Someone I know who had cancer was offered money to have NHS care. Due to where they lived e.g. within a couple of miles of the private hospital they declined.
