You have the right to choose

The government is committed to giving patients greater choice over how they receive their healthcare. Not only does this give you greater control of your care, but it also allows you to get quicker and better results. These choices only apply at the point of referral (from a GP, dentist or optometrist) to providers that have an NHS contract to provide the service the patient requires. Tetbury Hospital Trust is a contractor on the NHS Choice Framework.

You have the legal right to ask to be moved to a different provider if the wait is longer than the maximum waiting time for your treatment. This means you can be referred to Tetbury Hospital Trust if you are waiting for treatment at another hospital, but the waiting list is too long.

Many NHS patients are choosing Tetbury Hospital Trust due to shorter waiting times and exceptional levels of patient care.

Our CQC rating and patient feedback will give you an understanding of the quality of care you can expect to receive at Tetbury Hospital
