Women’s health is a broad term that doesn’t define any one medical speciality, but encompasses many conditions that can affect a woman through each stage of her life. BMI Healthcare has created these webpages to explain these conditions, and what can be done to treat them. It is very important to us, just as it is to you, that you and the women in your life remain in the very best of health.
At BMI Healthcare, our women’s health service offers:
Accredited consultants with extensive NHS experience
Individual care from the same consultant throughout your treatment
Fast access to tests and results, consultations and treatment
Doctors on-site, 24 hours a day, seven days a week
Friendly, professional nursing staff
Private rooms with en-suite facilities, satellite TV and direct dial telephones
Clean, peaceful and comfortable surroundings
Why choose BMI?
We understand that there is nothing more important than your health. We also understand that, as a wife, mother, daughter, sister or grandmother, you will make decisions not only about your own health, but also about your family’s.
You have choices about where you go to access healthcare, but ultimately you will want to be confident that you are receiving the right treatment, quickly, in the most appropriate environment for your condition.
BMI Healthcare is the UK’s largest independent hospital group. We have over 70 hospitals and healthcare facilities and we invest in partnerships with the NHS to provide the most comprehensive range of health services within the private sector.
World-class healthcare and expertise
As well as investing in hospitals, we invest in our staff. Across each of our centres our staff make the difference, providing an outstanding standard of care, compassion and understanding to each and every patient. For women’s health this means expertise in areas such as breast health, gynaecology, fertility and urology services. We understand that these are sensitive and specialised areas where nothing less than the best care will do.
First choice for consultants
More consultants choose BMI then any other private hospital group. There are many reasons why consultants choose us, but overall they look for the same things as our patients – advanced medical technology, the best support staff and a clean and comfortable environment.
Since we are part of the UK’s number one private hospital group, you can feel confident in the care and facilities available at your chosen BMI hospital. Each hospital meets strict national clinical standards and provides a full range of support and back-up facilities. This, combined with rigorous hygiene standards and nursing care from a friendly professional team, means that you will be looked after in a consistently clean, caring and comfortable environment.
