Rebecca, our Office Administrator, recently navigated a health crisis with her 18-month-old daughter, showcasing the significance of our Private Medical Insurance and the importance of swift access to effective medical care.
“I noticed my daughter’s lips turning blue with a high temperature lasting about a week. The doctor diagnosed tonsillitis and gave a 7-day antibiotic course, expressing concern about her breathing while sleeping due to severe symptoms. They told me to check on her every half hour at night, causing understandable worry and many sleepless nights.
The illness persisted, and the doctor’s inability to offer further guidance prompted my workplace to recommend the company’s private healthcare scheme.
Through private healthcare, we were promptly advised to visit the Emergency Room, confirming tonsillitis persistence. To expedite the referral process, we utilised private healthcare, securing a same-day private appointment and meeting with a specialist consultant within a week.
The comprehensive review (including ultrasound scans during the appointment) provided complete peace of mind. From sending the referral to the company’s private healthcare scheme to attending the appointment, everything was handled within one month—a timeline I’m very pleased with, especially considering potential prolonged NHS wait times as advised by my GP.
I am genuinely pleased with the service and appreciate the specialist’s thorough and reassuring approach during the appointment.”
