Is there a private A&E (emergency room) anywhere in London?!


Question: Is there a private A&E (emergency room) anywhere in London!?
I took my daughter to A&E a few weeks back because the GP refused a home visit (4 year old 42 degree temp)!. There was a wait time of 2 hours for triage and up to 7 to see a doctor!. THis is not acceptable, particularly as most people waiting were not even English!. I would happily pay privately to avoid this wait but I don't see any hospitals with private Emergency!. Does anyone know of anywhere or are we all stuck with the NHSWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
there is a private emergency clinic that you can pay for please see - www!.urgentcarecentre!.co!.uk
this is currently the only one!.
did you try your local walk in centre or urgent care centre sometimes the waits are considerably less!.
the nhs is under immense pressure during the winter time due to increased demand and unfortunately this can mean extremely long waits for people

just to add it does look expensive and they only see over 18yrs!. i would recommend you try a local walk in centre if you have no joy with your gpWww@Answer-Health@Com

Seriously; Private health care and emergency health care do not mix; not if you want to survice the experience!. not in the UK!.

Did you look at other options prior to going to A&E: ie; NHS Direct, your local GP out of Hours walk in Centre!? Etc!.

And how did you know that the other patients were not English!? Did you ask to see their passports!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

you are lucky we have health care at all that is free!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

42 degree temperature!?!!?! Like 42 out of 98!.6!?!?!?!?!?!? If there's nothing available, go with what you have!. Don't wait too long for your child's condition to worsen, whatever it is!.!.!. look it up on the internet or through your health insurance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
