Your Choice

Taking control of your healthcare


The introduction of free choice means that patients referred to see a specialist can choose where they will be treated. They can choose from any hospital that meets NHS standards.

Under free choice, if you and your GP decide that you need to see a specialist you'll be able to choose the hospital that best suits your needs.

Perhaps you'll want to go somewhere away from home but close to your family. Perhaps good parking facilities are vital for you. Waiting lists, cleanliness, reputation... these can all be considered in your decision. The choice is now yours. Your Treatment.

Find out more about how you can actively help shape the future of your hospital.

What Choice means for you

The world of healthcare really is your oyster. If you need a particular type of treatment or therapy, you now have the luxury of choice previously only available to private patients. You can read reviews of different places that offer the treatment you need, find out where specialist centres might be or find out all the services available near you.


What’s most important to you when you need treatment? That you’re in a hospital with excellent reviews? That you’re close to friend and family? That you’re seeing the country’s leading experts for your condition? Whatever your priorities, we can help you choose the right place for you.
