Treatment Centres

Treatment Centres (TCs) offer safe, fast, pre-booked day and short-stay surgery and diagnostic procedures in areas that have traditionally had the longest waiting times, such as ophthalmology and orthopaedics. TCs will play an important part in modernising the NHS and delivering a patient-centred health service. Whether NHS-run or managed by companies in the independent sector, the additional capacity TCs provide will be crucial in bringing down waiting times and giving patients more choice about when and where they are treated.
