United Kingdom Private Healthcare Self-Pay Market Report 2023: Seismic Impact of Covid-19 Drives Market-Beating Growth in Self-Pay Healthcare


Dublin, Aug. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Private Healthcare Self-Pay UK Market Report: Fifth Edition" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

For those invested in the private outpatient and inpatient healthcare sector, this comprehensive report is a must-read.

Designed to cater to service providers, suppliers, advisors, investors, and insurers operating within this burgeoning market, the report provides invaluable insights and future projections for the years ahead.

Despite the challenges posed by factors like staffing and resource allocation, the market has shown remarkable growth in patients opting for private care. Indications suggest that the self-pay market will continue to expand, prompting providers to strategize and cater to diverse patient needs to capitalize on this burgeoning interest and convert it into actual demand.

In addition, some NHS Trusts are beginning to provide wider availability of information and procedure prices in an attempt to recover NHS private patient revenues. However, this varies depending on geography, the existence of dedicated private patient beds, and local pressures. This begs the question: Are NHS Private Patient Units (PPUs) missing this opportunity to compete within the independent sector?

The report includes future projections for the subsequent years and explores the influential factors. Whilst the market has shown increasing volumes of growth for patients paying to receive private care, factors such as staffing and resourcing make estimates more difficult. However, all indicators are that the self-pay market will continue to grow but providers must be prepared to effectively target varied patient needs to convert this interest into demand.
