Benenden are amazing. For a small monthly subscription we receive many benefits but notably the 24/7 GP service which is simply so much easier and quicker than using our own GP.

Carple Tunnel Operation

The service given bt the consultant, his staff and the hospital was first rate. They were constrsint by the servive that Benenden has as they could only use one hospital for the operation which delayed the final service.
However the Spire hosital staff and facilities were first rate.

Hi John, thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

We’re really pleased to hear how highly you rated the consultant, hospital team, and the care you received during your treatment.

We’re sorry to hear there was a delay due to the hospital arrangements, and we completely understand how frustrating that can be when you’re waiting for treatment. We work with specific hospitals that are best equipped to carry out certain procedures, so that can sometimes mean a bit less flexibility around where treatment takes place.

We're pleased your overall experience was positive and we hope your recovery is going well following your operation.

In Out Job Done!

I've been with Benenden Health Care for over 21yrs. It's a joint membership and we have only used their services a few times. When we have used it its been brilliant and so easy to use. When I tell people the process they say "Sounds complicated or long winded" but I tell them that you soon get used to the system and it becomes second nature. My last use only took 24hrs to see the consultant. The offer of an operation was within two weeks. Great service and very pleased with the result.

It’s great to hear that once you get familiar with the process, it feels straightforward and even better that you were able to see a consultant and move things along quickly.

We’re always working to keep things as simple and seamless as possible for our members.
