Our colleague Liam Naulls had his Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction operation last week so we thought we would re-post an old blog to really hit home the point.
In January this year Liam sustained a serious knee injury playing football. After a bad tackle he ruptured his cruciate ligaments in his right knee, which required a full reconstruction.
If Liam had, had Private Medical Insurance (PMI) he would have had the operation a lot earlier . He could also be now recieving regular physio if he had added a few benefits to a PMI package.
The NHS has huge pressure on it, with long waiting lists, which is why Liam had to wait 9 months for his operation. With this in mind the number of people trusting in PMI and actually taking the option of PMI is on the increase (http://www.hi-mag.com/health-insurance/product-area/pmi/article370903.ece).
"This whole scenerio has made me realise the importance of PMI, and in hindsight I wish I had had some in place as I would be on the mend now." Liam acknowledged, "At 28, I thought why would I need it? But this has highlighted to me it is very much necessary".
At present we are working in conjunction with a PMI organisation, and from as little as £4 a week you can a basic plan that would enable you to use private medical faclities!
