Private Healthcare UK - the UK's leading web portal for information on private treatment and private healthcare services and providers is now available on NetDoctor.co.uk.

The Guide is located at http://netdoctor.privatehealth.co.uk

The guide to private healthcare on the NetDoctor website gives patients access to an extensive resource of advice, information and treatment options in the private sector.

www.privatehealthcare.co.uk is the UK's leading online gateway to information about all aspects of private healthcare in the UK. It has been established for over ten years and currently has 400,000 unique visitors a month. The site provides comprehensive information and guides on all aspects of private health care services including private doctors, health insurance and private hospitals.

www.netdoctor.co.uk is a health information website, providing impartial medical information, written by doctors and medical specialists, health care professionals, information specialists and patients that attracts around 4.5 million visitors a month and is in the top three of UK health information websites.

Bal Singh, Publisher of NetDoctor says: "We are really pleased to be launching the Private Healthcare Guide on NetDoctor. There is an obvious synergy between Private Healthcare UK and NetDoctor - both provide clear, unbiased information that help patients understand their choices and treatment options; both are written in clear English without using difficult to understand and often confusing medical jargon".

The Private Healthcare Guide on NetDoctor will also be a useful resource for the increasing number* of NHS patients who are exercising their rights to access private healthcare; they will be able to easily access information about private healthcare providers and facilities on private healthcare through the NetDoctor site.

"Building a Private Healthcare Guide on NetDoctor is a natural fit for us, we are both in the business of providing easy to understand information and helping health consumers and patients make informed decisions. Having a portal on NetDoctor gives us access to a much wider potential audience. In addition, we are providing some of NetDoctor's 4.5m unique visitors a month with easy access to extensive information on private healthcare and helping them make choices about private healthcare options," says Keith Pollard, founder and managing director of Private Healthcare UK.
