What Private Healthcare & Insurance Don't Tell Patients
My nightmare in private healthcare — What all private patients should know
I thought having AXA UK medical insurance and using a BMI private hospital would keep me safe. Only when something goes wrong do you learn there is lack of regulation, liability, or accountability for private healthcare and insurance. I have made this site to inform patients and hopefully stop you suffering like I still am.

I Have No Affiliation With AXA Or The BMI.
THIS IS JUST MY EXPERIENCE, AN OFFICIAL HOUSE OF COMMONS SELECT COMMITTEE REPORT ISSUED 2020, MY LABOUR MP'S RESPONSE TO MY CASE, AND THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO THE REPORT. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS REPORT WAS NOT FOCUSED ON AXA OR THE BMI, BUT IT DID INCLUDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL PRIVATE HEALTHCARE FACILITIES. THE BMI'S REGULATOR DID DIRECT THEM TO THIS REPORT IN MY CASE STATING THEY HAD NOT LEARNED LESSONS.
THIS SITE IS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE COMPANIES MENTIONED WITHIN IT, ALTHOUGH WITH AXA'S KNOWLEDGE. I DO NOT HOLD MYSELF OUT TO BE THEM IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. I AM NOT THEM! I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHING. I JUST BELIEVE THE PUBLIC DESERVES TO KNOW ABOUT THE PRIVATE HEALTHCARE COMPANIES WE PUT OUR TRUST AND ULTIMATELY OUR LIVES IN THE HANDS OF.
I HOPE YOU FIND THIS WEBSITE INFORMATIVE AND PLEASE DO AS MUCH RESEARCH AS YOU CAN BEFORE YOU INTRUST ANYONE WITH YOUR HEALTH AND WELLBEING. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SITE TO OFFER TRUTHFUL INFORMATION AND HONEST OPINION ABOUT THE PRIVATE HEALTHCARE SECTOR FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE FOR 5 YEARS NOW.
If you have reached this site by accident and wanted AXA Health, please go to www.axahealth.co.uk or www.circlehealthgroup.co.uk if you require the BMI (now merged with Circle Health Group). www.axahealth.co.uk or www.circlehealthgroup.co.uk.
