How to arrange a consultation with Mr Moore

by Justin Beadle last modified 2010-11-06 18:00

Guidance on arranging an appointment

Mr Moore provides consultations and surgical services at the Nuffield Health Brighton Hospital, the Nuffield Health Haywards Heath Hospital, Spire Gatwick Park Hospital, BMI Goring Hall Hospital Worthing and at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust (Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton and Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath).

He is qualified in general surgery but has particular specialist interests in colorectal disease, endoscopy and colonoscopy, and laparoscopic surgery for conditions such as gallstones, hernias, adhesions and bowel problems.  Laparoscopic surgery is sometimes called keyhole or minimal access surgery.

Patients are advised that they cannot usually be seen or treated by specialists, either in the NHS or private practice, without a referral, usually from a general practitioner (GP).  Therefore they should ideally make an appointment to see their local doctor first if they have any medical problem.  Their GP or other specialist will then make a referral to Mr Moore if they feel it is appropriate.  Both private and NHS patients should make sure that they let their GP or other specialist know if they have a preferred surgeon such as Mr Moore that they would like to be referred to.

Mr Moore will accept UK or foreign private self-referrals from patients but these patients should be aware that he will strongly advise them that their GP or local doctor should be kept fully informed of any consultation or subsequent medical management.  Such self-referring patients should telephone Mr Moore's private secretary on +44 1273 627 059.  A private consultation can then be arranged.

Patients should note that the UK private and NHS (National Health Service) consultation and treatment systems are different.  Private patients will always be seen and treated by Mr Moore personally at a time as convenient as possible to them.  NHS patients will not necessarily be seen or treated by Mr Moore personally and may at any time be seen and treated by a different doctor employed by the hospital.  This is because NHS consultations and treatments are pooled between different consultants and other non-consultant doctors and nurses to try to reduce NHS waiting times.  NHS patients are perfectly within their rights to request to their GP or their hospital or any other NHS health care provider that they see a specific consultant such as Mr Moore but they must then appreciate that they may be required to wait longer.
