Why Go Private at Nova Healthcare

At Nova we understand that your health is your life. A diagnosis of cancer or other brain disease can be life changing and the decisions you make early in the treatment process can make an important difference to your overall experience. Many patients find that going private makes the choices easier, less stressful and in general more positive. Because of this patients are often more optimistic about their overall experience, which is one of the many factors that can improve treatment success or lead to better quality of life outcomes.

Going private with Nova treatment can usually be done very quickly, consultations and appointments can be arranged at times that better suit you, and you are seen in a comfortable private area, which can be enjoyed by friends and family as well.

Our patients find that choosing to be seen privately offers them the following benefits:

• You have your choice of top notch consultants and will see the same highly qualified specialist throughout your treatment.
• You have fast access to your consultants and Nova services, with no waits.
• You have access to some of the world's most advanced technology and all available cancer drugs.
• You receive your treatment in the privacy of a clean, highly controlled private patient suite, but encompassed within the largest cancer centre in Europe.
• You have the most convenient access, with free parking or taxi service if needed. We can also provide valet parking if you’d prefer, with one of our patient co-ordinators greeting you at the front door. Your car will then be parked for you and returned when you’re ready to leave.
• Our patient co-ordinators will help facilitate your care throughout your diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, ensuring you have everything you need to make the experience a positive one.
• If you are self insured, you can take advantage of having paid your premiums over the years, getting what is fully owed you.
• If your employer offers private healthcare, you can take advantage of this work place perk and benefit from playing a greater role in your own healthcare.
• You don't need to have medical insurance to get private treatment. You can simply pay directly for your private treatment, known as 'self-paying'. Nova is happy to discuss a fixed price package with you, making private treatment a possibility for anyone.

Although Nova Healthcare and the NHS are separate, we work closely together, which ensures you always receive the best of both worlds.

You are also supporting the NHS when you go private with Nova. Because of our unique working relationship with the St. James’s Institute of Oncology and its staff, a portion of your fees revert back to the NHS even when you are treated as a private patient.
