Health Care

[simon]

Is there any kind of insurance in which you can receive full health care totally separate from the NHS England ?

I am sick and tired of waiting lists, ques and ambulance delays and waits when using the 999 system.

Sick and tired of student doctors "practicing on me, my health ! "

I know you can get private health care insurance for treatments, however it would be brilliant for such a private company to offer the full service, including but not limited to A & E facility, emergency line ect which is all private and payed for by the users. Thus it wont be / shouldn't be clogged up by drunks and time wasters and other people which i don't wish to associate with.

I know bupa has doctors which have a 7 years minimum experience which is great. (no students !)

i would like a health insurance which offers the full amount of care, where my health comes first, i am seen ASAP, i receive check ups and appointments swiftly, a swift and reliable emergency line, A & E which is not full of drunks with unhelpful receptionists and long waiting hours. Doctors with plenty of training and experience. and patients which are genuine.

Please help

Thank you !

One thing to bear in mind is that the private sector is not always that great when it comes to emergency medicine. It is well known that private hospital patients who take a turn for the worse are sometimes taken to NHS A&E departments.

Private A&E services are pretty much non existent in the UK unless you are extremely wealthy. For everything else you have the usual insurance providers, or you pay as you need the services.

Although given the tone of this and some of OP's other posts, I doubt this is a serious query anyway.

Do not think so. We have a company health care plan in place which covers well everything. New drugs, unlimited you name it. But if I am knocked down in the street the ambulance will take me to a NHS hospital where treatment will be given and then when I am stable I would be moved.

Most of the private consultants are the exact same ones as you see on the NHS.

To my knowledge, unless you are incredibly rich, no such scheme exists

I always wondered how richest people have it organised. Suppose they have their "own" good general doctors and known contacts with best private specialists but what about emergency ? They could have a plane with top a&e facilities that can take them anywhere and a room in the house which can be converted into best intensive care unit with any specialist on call?

I know of no wealthy celebrity, be it Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston or even The Royal Family, where an ambulance was not called to take them to a regular hospital when a problem became too much for the private medics on call because as good as private Doctors can be, they do not have the man power nor machinery that a normal hospital does.

I hate queuing in supermarkets.

I feel I should be seen faster than others, I hate the standing about with the riff raff - is there a scheme where I can have my own checkout, so I can be seen quicker?

Doctors with lots of training and experience but not students? How do you think your preferred doctors got their training and experience?
