10 Reasons Why
Go Private for
Thoracic Surgery?

Whether you’ve had an unexpected finding on a routine scan, been dealing with ongoing symptoms, or received concerning news out of nowhere, you’re likely feeling worried and uncertain. After seeing your GP and possibly an NHS doctor, you may find yourself waiting for investigations with no clear timeline – and that anxiety can feel overwhelming.

So you think: should I go private?

I want to be clear: I work within the NHS at one of the country’s largest hospital groups and follow all current NHS guidelines. Going private isn’t about finding a “better” doctor – it’s about receiving the same expert care with added benefits.

The reality is that NHS waiting times can be lengthy, and you may see different doctors at each appointment. Privately, you’ll have continuity of care with the same specialist throughout your journey. You’ll also have immediate access to scans and investigations, often on the same day as your consultation, helping to reduce the uncertainty and get you answers quickly
