As his wife had previously used Casualty First in times of need, Julian didn’t hesitate to visit when he first noticed blood in his urine. After seeing Dr Van Nierop at Casualty First, where he was thoroughly examined and sent for extensive tests, an appointment was subsequently made with experienced Urologist Mr Leye Ajayi. Following a CT scan, a tumour was identified in Mr Greenway’s bladder, with surgery arranged for the following day. Mr Greenway was in awe at the speed of treatment and offered the highest praise for Dr Van Nierop, Mr Leye Ajayi and all the staff he encountered within Casualty First and the Hospital.

Our Appointments Team have a dedicated and caring approach to finding you the earliest appointment possible with the best specialist.
If you are self-paying you don’t need a referral from your GP for a consultation. You can simply refer yourself* and book an appointment.
If you have medical insurance (e.g. Bupa, Axa PPP, Aviva), you will need to contact your insurer to get authorisation for any treatment and, in most cases, you will require a referral letter from your GP.
If you do not have a GP, then we have an in-house private GP practice that you can use. Alternatively we can suggest the most appropriate course of action for you to take, given your location and individual circumstance.
*Please note – for investigations such as X-rays and MRI’s a referral will be required. However, we may be able to arrange this for you through our on-site private GP.
