PHIN collects data from, and about, consultants across the UK who are working in the private healthcare sector. To help you make the most of these profiles and understand the questions you need to ask to make more informed choices, we have produced several guides.
What is a private healthcare consultant?
Consultants are medical professionals who specialise in a particular area of healthcare, such as plastic surgeons, cardiologists (who deal with your heart and blood vessels) or orthopaedic specialists (who deal with muscles bones joints ligaments and tendons).
There are several different types of healthcare consultant, including:
- Surgical/Interventionalist
- Anaesthetic
- Physician
Each one can play a different role in your healthcare as required.
