Hospital Admissions

Your Doctor will be the first to indicate that you may need hospital treatment and will refer you to the relevant Consultant based at the Medical Specialist Group

The Medical Specialist Group (MSG) 

The MSG has Consultants of medicine, surgery including Ophthalmology (eye disorders), anaesthetics (pain relief), paediatrics (childhood illness) obstetrics (childbirth and midwifery) and gynaecology (female reproductive system). They provide the majority of the medical services at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital.

Once your referral has been received your Consultant will then decide whether or not hospital treatment is required and discuss with you what alternative treatments are available and what they would entail.

Patients with private medical cover for specialist treatment may choose to consult the MSG, either privately or under the State’s scheme. You can find out more details by visiting the MSG website here: www.msg.gg
