NHS CATS

NHS Clinical Assessment & Treatment Services (CATS)

Care UK provides Clinical Assessment & Treatment Services (CATS) on behalf of the NHS in a number of treatment centres in regions across the UK. Health care services include gynaecology, ear nose and throat (ENT), muscle skeletal (MSK), urology, audiology, ophthalmology, as well as general therapies and some minor surgery.

Currently Care UK operates NHS CATS in Rochdale, Dagenham (London) as well as a specialist mobile service in Greater Manchester, which operates from seven locations across Manchester.

CATS are designed to give patients greater choice about when and where they are treated, providing convenient, easy to access diagnostic, assessment and treatment services for a range of conditions.

CATS help maintain short NHS waiting times and offer convenient local services for patients in community settings closer to home. Many CATS treatment centres also offer extended opening hours during the week as well as weekend services, providing greater flexibility and accessibility to patients.
