Review

I was admitted as an NHS patient and the main difference to me was the slower pace of everything within the hospital. NHS places are always seemingly working at a high level of activity. Of course things like the pleasant decor are noticeable but when I enter a hospital for admittance such niceties don't really interest me. The level of service and care was the main difference to me for within 90 minutes of entering the hospital I was ready for the surgery. The care by the doctors and nurses wasn't that much different from the NHS and in fact the overall medical experience was much the same at most levels. As I have mentioned with the pace of things being slower the whole atmosphere of the place was more pleasant, as for the food and other amenities, I was unwell for a while so didn't eat much. Most people who enter hospital for treatment do so with trepidation and entering Spire will not dispel that feeling but being an NHS patient also meant that I had no bills to pay. But your credit card details are asked for in case you ask for services outside of the contract the NHS has agreed with the private health provider. An overall pleasant medical experience but when you are ill you just want to get well, maybe as a private health insurance patient things may be a little different, but I have no complaints.
