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.
