Every thing they do is guided by their commitment to deliver personal patient care. Newmedica understand that being diagnosed with an eye condition can feel scary, that's why they always take the time to understand individual patients needs and offer personal care and reassurance throughout.

Your care, your choice

Did you know that NHS patients have the legal right to choose who provides their care? You have the power to choose which NHS or independent clinic like Newmedica delivers your care. You also have the right, if you’re on an NHS waiting list, to ask to go to a different hospital or clinic if it’s able to start your treatment sooner.

Private treatment at Newmedica

Newmedica’s range of private treatments and services are available for people who opt to cover the cost of treatment themselves or can claim through their private medical insurance.

There are a number of reasons why some Newmedica patients choose to go private. It might be that the treatment they need isn’t available on the NHS, they’d like to have more options on their treatment plans, or they’re after more flexibility around their appointment and treatment types.
