About our Consultants
All Consultants at Greater Lancashire Hospital are independent practitioners who hold personal responsibility for the care they provide. They operate in line with Greater Lancashire Hospital’s policies and procedures when practising within our Hospital.
Many of our Consultants are also employed by the NHS and bring extensive experience from a range of healthcare settings, including other independent providers.
Every Consultant is listed on the General Medical Council (GMC) medical register and undergoes a thorough vetting and approval process before being granted practising privileges to work at Greater Lancashire Hospital.
Their practising privileges are reviewed regularly by our Hospital Director and Matron to ensure the highest standards of patient care are maintained.

Consultant Governance & Assurance
Your relationship with each Consultant involved in your treatment (including anaesthetists) exists as a separate legal relationship alongside your relationship with Greater Lancashire Hospital.
If you are a private patient, you or your insurer will usually be invoiced separately by each Consultant and by the Hospital. In some cases, we act as a fee-collecting agent for the Consultants to simplify the payment process.
Whilst Consultants are responsible for their own clinical decision-making and the quality of care they deliver, Greater Lancashire Hospital ensures there are robust systems of monitoring and oversight in place.
These systems are designed to ensure that all Consultants practise in accordance with their practising privileges and our Hospital policies.
All Consultants are required to maintain adequate levels of medical malpractice indemnity cover in line with GMC guidance.
Greater Lancashire Hospital conducts regular checks to verify that all indemnity certificates are current and compliant.
