Why ‘Go Private’

Why Choose Private Respiratory Care?

"As an NHS Consultant who also provides private care, I understand the challenges patients face accessing specialist respiratory services. Here's how private care can help you breathe easier, sooner."

expert care when you need it

Unlike the standard NHS pathway, private care means:

  • Direct access to me, a respiratory specialist
  • No need to try multiple treatments first
  • Avoid long waiting lists
  • Get answers and treatment plans quickly
  • Comprehensive care in one place

time to listen, time to care

In your private consultation, I offer:

  • 30-45 minute appointments (versus standard 10-15 minutes)
  • Detailed discussion of your symptoms
  • Thorough examination
  • Time to answer all your questions
  • Comprehensive treatment planning

fast track diagnostics

Why wait weeks or months? I can arrange:

  • Breathing tests
  • CT scans
  • Blood tests
  • Bronchoscopy

Often wthin a few days of your consultation.

Insured patients

Dr Paul is Bupa Fee assured.

He is also registered with all other UK insurance companies including AXA, Vitality Health , Aviva ,WPA and Allianz worldwide care. This means that your medical insurance policy should cover all of his charges for a consultation, depending on your policy and any excess that may apply.

It is still always important to contact your insurer for pre-approval prior to your appointment or procedure.
