Exeter Hospital FAQs
-
How do I get an appointment to see a consultant?You would need to see your GP, or a private GP, who will then make a referral to see one of our consultants. For cosmetic surgery, dermatology and some of our orthopaedic consultant’s appointments to see a GP first is not essential but it is still recommended.
-
How long would it take me to get an appointment?We endeavour to ensure all private patients will be seen within a few days and at a time that is convenient for you. Our appointments are designed to be flexible around your needs and activities.
-
Can I see a consultant for an appointment after work or at the weekend?Our outpatient services operate from 08:00 - 20:00 Monday to Friday. Post operatively, if a consultant decides they needed to see a patient urgently this would be co-ordinated by our out of hours team. The hospital is open 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year for our patients’ convenience.
-
Can I choose which consultant I wish to see?Yes, as a private patient you can choose your consultant. Our team is on hand to be able to advise you of our consultants and where their specialities are to ensure you are seeing the right consultant for your symptoms.
-
Do you offer treatment for children?In Exeter we see children under 16 for outpatient consultations only. We see 16 and 17-year-olds in outpatients and for surgical procedures providing they are not complex and not cosmetic in nature.
-
Would my surgery be conducted by a junior doctor?No, our hospital only works with consultants and therefore you can be assured of the highest level of clinical care. Your appointments, surgery and follow ups will be conducted by your consultant.
