    Frequently Asked Questions

    We hope the patient journey is as smooth as possible for you, although we can’t answer all your questions straight away, you may find the beloe FAQ’s useful.

    How long will I typically wait for an appointment?

    Usually less than a week. Several clinics run weekly in Harrogate and Leeds. 

    What is the waiting list time for surgery

    Following a diagnosis, for urgent problems such as sports injuries, surgery can often be offered within two weeks – sometimes sooner. 

    Can I choose the date for my surgery

    Yes, a surgery date can be arranged to suit you. 

    Do I need a GP referral

    Unless you have a complex medical history or have had previous relevant treatment/surgery, if you are self-funding then a referral is not required. If you have health insurance, your insurer may require a referral to allow authorisation.

    Can I revert back to the NHS once I have been seen privately?

    Yes, you have no obligation to pursue private treatment and can return to the NHS at any time, though generally, your GP will need to refer you.
    Please note: If you have had a private consultation/diagnosis and would like treatment via the NHS, you will restart your care pathway. Previous private consultation or treatment offers no priority on return to the NHS. 

    Do I need a referral for diagnostic imaging such as scans or x-rays?

    Yes. The referral can be made by either your GP or another clinician prior to your appointment, or a request can be put in during your initial consultation. Please contact us if you need advice.

    How long is my appointment?

    A. Up to 30 minutes are allocated for new appointments, however, your consultation will generally last as long as you need.
