Has the Claremont Hospital had any known cases of MRSA?
No. There have been no known cases of MRSA at the Claremont Hospital . We routinely screen patients for MRSA prior to admission and follow strict hygiene procedures. The use of single or low occupancy rooms also minimises any risks.

I have been asked whether I would like to be treated at the Claremont Hospital under the NHS. How does this work?
In order to cut waiting times, there are various government initiatives in place (such as 'Patient Choice') that mean that NHS patients can receive their treatment in private hospitals. The majority of private hospitals in the UK are treating NHS patients in this way. More details on NHS funding.

Does the standard of care provided to private and NHS patients differ?
No. The care provided by Claremont Hospital is of the same high standard, regardless of who is paying for the treatment. There may, however, be differences in the non-clinical facilities provided. For example, private patients will always be guaranteed a single room, whereas NHS patients may share a multi-bedded, single sex bedroom.

The hospital operates a no smoking policy.
Return to list of FAQs
We operate an open visiting policy, but prefer visitors to refrain from visiting between 12 noon and 2.00pm each day as we encourage patients to benefit from a restful, peaceful period after lunch to aid their recuperation. Telephone enquiries are welcome at any time.
