Many patients self-pay. Spire Manchester offers self-pay packages for common procedures, and a formal quotation is provided before treatment. Finance plans are available via Spire on 0161 447 6700.

All major UK insurers, including BUPA, AXA PPP, Aviva (Norwich Union), WPA, Standard Life, Vitality, Pruhealth, Cigna, Saga and Medisure.

Ask your GP for a referral, then contact your insurer for a pre-authorisation code before your consultation. Providing the code lets the clinic invoice your insurer directly; any subsequent tests or surgery also need prior authorisation.

Surgery costs are made up of the surgical fee, the anaesthetic fee, the hospital fee and, at some hospitals, a separate charge for take-home medication.

Keyhole (laparoscopic) pelvic floor and prolapse surgery, including prolapse repair that often keeps the womb, plus procedures such as sacrohysteropexy, sacrocolpopexy, anterior and posterior repair, laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy and Mirena IUS fitting.

It lifts the pelvic floor back into place through small incisions, often without a hysterectomy — meaning smaller incisions and a quicker recovery than open surgery.

Some procedures include scheduled overnight stays, which your quotation covers. Any extra nights beyond those scheduled are charged separately, at roughly £400 per night.

Your anaesthetist meets you on the day of surgery. The anaesthetic fee covers that consultation and the anaesthetic itself.

The surgical fee includes your post-operative follow-up, dressings and suture removal.

Mr Broome often recommends reviewing the relevant procedure leaflet, then discussing it at your consultation, where you'll get a clear explanation and a plan built around you.
