INSURANCE COVER!


HAD AN ACCIDENT? DON’T FORGET YOUR HEALTH


The majority of “ accident patients” do not realise that they can use their health insurance cover to opt for private medical care.


Although admitted to a N.H.S. facility, the patient (or his/her relatives) have the right to ask for the


personal attention of a Consultant, and if considered medically appropriate, to opt for rehabilitation or continuing care in a private hospital.


If you are considering private care, please don’t


forget that your local private hospital, Gishurnc Park has the North West’s only purpose-designed private rehabilitation unit and provides an environment ideally suited to speedy recovery'.


If you would like to inspect the hospital, or


require further information on the services offered by Gisburnc Park Hospital, please do not


hesitate to contact Matron, Mrs. Jean Barnes on Gisburn (020 05) 693.
