Operation France is perfect cure for UK healthcare needs
With more and more Brits joining the worldwide trend of ‘medical tourism’ and opting to travel abroad for private surgery rather than wait for NHS treatment, new Welsh private healthcare agent Operation France believes it has the perfect healthcare solution. The company specialises in arranging tailor made stress free private healthcare packages to UK residents seeking top quality private medical treatment abroad but at a reduced cost.
A family run firm, Operation France was set up in October 09 by Father and Daughter team Hugh Phillips and Diana Brook. When a close family friend waited nearly a year for an operation on the NHS, the company looked to find a much more efficient method. Operation France arranges custom treatment and accommodation packages for British patients at the renowned Clinique Saint Isabelle in France, which is run by a leading orthopaedic surgeon. The company is the clinic’s exclusive agent and specialises in arranging hip and knee replacements specifically for British patients including full aftercare, accommodation and transportation.
Operation France carefully plans all treatment packages to ensure that patients are fully looked after from the onset. Director Hugh Phillips explained, “Having any operation can be extremely stressful. Our clients are our number one priority and it is our job to make sure that the process is as smooth and stress free as possible. We take care of everything from start to finish so that patients can relax and recuperate in comfort, safe in the knowledge that all their needs have been taken care of, before we collect them and escort them safely home.”
The company’s services include liaison with a referring practitioner, scheduling of pre-surgery tests, arranging consultations with specialists, and arranging surgery, clinic accommodation for patients, hotel accommodation for family and friends, physiotherapy, convalescence, and door to door transportation to and from the clinic. Diana Brook said, “Many people would rather not wait on the NHS for a vital hip or knee replacement but can’t afford to pay for private healthcare in the UK. Operation France can in many cases arrange travel, surgery and aftercare at a top French clinic within just a few weeks of booking. This means that people not only avoid long waiting lists but receive the expert private healthcare that they would expect in the UK but at a reduced cost and without the worry of having to organise it themselves. We look after everything so all they need to do is concentrate on getting back on their feet.”
