Post treatment communication

Following treatment of a Bupa member, I will communicate with GPs in line with Department of Health, GMC and appropriate professional bodies guidelines.

In the event of an urgent query following treatment, Bupa members should use the following contact details

Patients should initially contact by telephone the hospital that they have had their procedure performed at.

The hospitals all have nursing staff and a qualified doctor on site who can advise & assess, liaise with your Consultant, and organise urgent review to initiate treatment promptly 24/7 if required.

There is also a Consultant mobile telephone contact number available for patients only, though this is not permanently staffed. Tel. 07842597902
