Three Ways to Be Treated at Stourside

• Self-pay. Book a consultation, get a written quote and pay the guide price, usually within weeks. Finance is available, including 0% over 10 months with no deposit.
• Health insurance. Your insurer pays if Stourside is on your policy’s hospital list and you get pre-authorisation before booking; Ramsay runs a simplified referral process for insured patients.
• NHS referral. Stourside treats NHS patients who choose it through their GP referral: in 2023/24, 3,037 of its 3,315 admissions were NHS-funded. It is free, but you join the NHS waiting list for the hospital. See how to be seen faster on the NHS, NHS cataract waits, NHS wisdom teeth waits and how to get a private referral.

Using Health Insurance at Stourside

• Check your hospital list. Ramsay hospitals are recognised by the major insurers, but whether Stourside is on your policy depends on the list you chose. See the Bupa, AXA, Aviva, Vitality, WPA and The Exeter hospital list guides, and how hospital list tiers work outside London.
• Get pre-authorisation before booking any appointment or procedure; pre-authorisation codes explains how.
• New conditions only. Insurance covers conditions that start after you join; ones you already have are usually excluded. See pre-existing conditions and is private health insurance worth it?
• Already covered? Hospital lists and premiums change at every renewal, so a quick review can confirm Stourside is still included and whether another insurer covers the same hospitals for less; see switching health insurance and negotiating your renewal.

CQC Rating, Reviews and History

The Care Quality Commission rates Stourside Hospital Good overall, and Good in all five areas (safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led), after an inspection on 14 June 2022 with the report published on 19 August 2022; a CQC review on 6 July 2023 found no reason to change the rating, and Ramsay’s quality account records it keeping Good across all five domains in October 2023. That is the latest published rating, so check the CQC website for anything more recent before you book. The registered provider is Ramsay Health Care UK Operations Limited. Stourside opened in 2021 as a brand-new day-case facility for NHS and private patients, built as an extension of West Midlands Hospital in Halesowen, with which it shares a hospital director and a quality account; in 2023/24 the two sites recorded about 92% NHS activity at Stourside. PHIN’s profile reports 97% of 1,676 patients rating their experience very good or good. Patient reviews and photos of Stourside Hospital on Google, iWantGreatCare and the NHS website give a more personal picture of the unit and the consultants; our guide to choosing a private consultant explains how to check any surgeon’s record. For jobs at the hospital, Ramsay advertises on its careers site rather than through reception.
