NHS access pressure
Our Treatment Access Index tracks pressure across elective treatment, diagnostic access, cancer pathways, whole-system pressure and patient access sentiment. It gives extra context for people comparing private medical insurance alongside NHS care.
PMI is not a replacement for the NHS or emergency care, but the index can help explain why outpatient cover, diagnostic rules, cancer cover and planned treatment benefits are worth understanding before comparing policies.
