Private medical insurance at a glance
- Provides an opportunity to avoid long, NHS waiting lists
- Access to pre-approved, private hospitals
- Opportunity to choose when, where and who treats you
- Better standard of care, hygiene and accommodation
With almost 100,000 people spending three months or more waiting for NHS treatment each year, it's no wonder more and more people are turning to private medical insurance as a means to avoid long waiting lists for everything from diagnostic tests to urgent life saving treatment.
Many people don't consider what they would do in the event of a life threatening illness or whether they would be prepared to wait for treatment.
Whether you're currently in good health, are recovering from a long term illness or simply concerned about what you or a loved one would do should ill health strike, private medical insurance is right for you.
Today, over 1,500 people will die in the UK; how many of those deaths could have been avoided if the right medical care was provided straight away?
"I've suffered acute back pain for 5 years. Although the NHS doctors were very good, I was fed up waiting for appointments which is why I took out private medical care.
"When a family member was taken into hospital I was shocked that patients had to share toilets and wash areas. By taking out medical insurance I'm guaranteed a private room with en-suite facilities should I require them."
"I'm concerned about super bugs and the risk of contracting infections like C. Difficile or MRSA from a hospital stay. I was impressed by private hospitals' flawless record of cleanliness which prompted me to take out private healthcare."
"For just £5 a month I know I have the right to choose where and when I receive medical treatment should I need it. Since my work sees me travel on a regular basis it means a lot to know I can mould my healthcare to meet my needs."

Life expectancy in Britain is on the rise which puts the NHS under even more strain
Just take a look at these statistics:
- Cancer is the cause of 25% of all deaths in the UK
- 1 person every 2 minutes suffers a heart attack in the UK
- 2.7million people in the UK are living with coronary disease
Sadly children in the UK are not exempt from poor health or long term illness.
One UK hospital can treat, on average, around 200,000 junior patients every year from everything to bumps and scratches to life threatening conditions.
Now health experts are saying today's children could be the first to die before their parents as the risk from childhood obesity alongside exposure to cigarettes and alcohol means children are quickly becoming more and more unhealthy.
Our QuoteBoffin has dug out the following facts:
- 1,000 dental operations are carried out each year on children under the age of 6
- Between 500 - 1,000 children are hospitalised each year due to passive smoking
- Almost 9,000 children in England required urgent medical treatment during 2009 for obesity related illnesses.
