Tucked away near the top of Tupwood Lane in Caterham Valley is one of Surrey's top private hospitals, the North Downs Hospital. For 35 years the hospital has been providing an exceptional service to its patients with the highest standard of clinical and personal care.

North Downs is now offering Premium Care along with another Surrey Hospital, Ashtead Hospital. Premium Care is an enhanced service package for private patients, both self-funding and those insured. Patients within the Premium Care service are treated as guests as well as patients and receive enhanced benefits to the hospital's standard service, including choice of specialist consultant, flexible appointment times, priority referral for treatment and a single ensuite room, to mention but a few. The philosophy at North Downs is to deliver high quality services and appropriate care for every patient with independent auditing from The Care Quality Commission.

North Downs Hospital prides itself on its exceptionally low infection rate which is virtually zero. Its cleanliness and comfort provides a welcoming environment more like a hotel than a clinical establishment and its dedicated team regularly receives letters of appreciation from grateful patients: "My treatment from the receptionist to consultant was of the highest standard," commented a recent Premium Care patient. "It was professional but at the same time personal and made me feel at ease and confident that I was in good hands."

Access to treatment at North Downs Hospital may be by GP referral for some treatments. For other treatments such as physiotherapy and cosmetic surgery, patients can self-refer without seeing a GP.
