Health tourism: - more and more British patients are going abroad for treatment.

Fears and frustrations driving patients abroad

Extract from Sunday Telegraph article:

"The threat of contracting a fatal superbug, and despair over hospital waiting times are fuelling a boom in health tourism, with Britons turning to overseas hospitals in growing numbers.

A survey – as new figures are about to be published on MRSA and Clostridium difficile – reveals that a third do so because of rising hospital infections.

Figures this week are expected to show a continued rise in outbreaks of the superbugs. And experts warn that the latest statistics would represent "the tip of the iceberg" with hundreds of thousands of cases going undetected."

Hewitt launches new NHS website

NHS launches one-stop-shop website - Telegraph

Extract:

"A new NHS website for patients will be launched by Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt today.
NHS Choices will act as a "one stop shop" for the public, offering details on conditions and access to treatments as well as ratings on hospital waiting times, cleanliness and re-admission rates.

Patients will be able to book hospital appointments from their own home and give online feedback on their treatment and experiences, which will allow others to see "reviews" of NHS service providers.

Multi-media guides on the 40 most common NHS procedures are also expected to feature.
The site is designed to help the public live healthier lives."
