What difference is the Private service?
You basically get the treatment using the time that i personally would like if i was the patient. The materials are often better for us to use, though all NHS ones are still of a high standard. You can come at more convenient times and usually see someone who is experienced with a track record at the practice over some years.
What late nights do we open?
Mon and wed. Some Saturdays.
Why do some people get more treatment but pay the same?
The charges on the NHS are fixed into 3 bands and this is regardless of how many items you need in each one. This means that a regular NHS patient who needs little is often paying 3 or 4 times the price it may have been before the new contract was imposed 3 years ago. ie a small filling in 2006 was about £8-10, now it is £43. A check up,was £6/7 and is now £16. Privately a patient only pays for what they need at the time.
