Kingsbridge Hospital was exceptional, within weeks my daughter received the necessary procedure  and within less than 24hrs, her procedure was completed and we were on our way home.

In my humble opinion PMAS is an amazing service and incredible value for money.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Damien, Michael and the team for their valuable work on behalf of members of the Defence forces. I truly appreciated all the support we received and for providing such an important and necessary service.

The team I dealt with were very helpful, knowledgeable and swiftly forwarded onto me all relevant documentation for me to fill out. They were at the end of the phone or email to answer any questions that I had during the process. Within a very short time of receiving, completing and returning said documents I had a phone call from Cathedral Eye Clinic, Belfast to arrange an appointment for my procedure. The members of PMAS are there to assist all serving and retired members of the Defence Forces who are members of the ANSAC Credit Union and do an outstanding job on our behalf. Thank you very much.

The care I received at Cathedral Eye Clinic, Belfast for a recent cataract procedure was exceptional. Every stage was explained to me thoroughly and any questions I had were answered to help put me at ease. Their professionalism was outstanding, every member of staff from receptionist to Consultant, Mr Stewart, was second to none. Their aftercare was explained in great detail and I received follow up phone calls to check on my progress. I would highly recommend Cathedral Eye Clinic for anyone needing or thinking about any procedures they may require.

PMAS provides you with access to the 5-star private hospital, Kingsbridge. My experience with Kingsbridge has been exceptional from the moment I walked in. I was made instantly comfortable and reassured with really high standard aftercare as well. My experience of both PMAS and Kingsbridge has made my process a lot less stressful.

If there was a significant date coming up for me such as consultations, they would ring in advance and tell me what to have prepared and what way to pay for consultation and how to be refunded etc. (Refund took minutes).

My surgery date got cancelled and moved forward quite suddenly; this did not allow for the required 10 days payment in advance which was required, however Michael again put me at ease and worked on it immediately with success. The relationship PMAS has built with both Kingsbridge Hospital and ANSAC proved beneficial as Kingsbridge allowed the procedure to go ahead possibly with late payment and ANSAC were efficient and fast with the payment application and procedures they needed to do.

The stay in Kingsbridge topped an excellent process; my surgery went according to plan; the staff were excellent everyone from Dr Bailie to the chefs and service staff were amazing.

I would 100% recommend this entire process and again would like to thank you all for helping me through it. Especially Michael, who was always on hand to cover anything I was unsure of.

Within 3 weeks of reaching out to PMAS, I received a consultation appointment at Kingsbridge Private Hospital Belfast with Dr. Rodger Wilson. He thoroughly explained the procedure and scheduled my surgery date. Throughout the journey, PMAS remained accessible, ensuring I felt supported every step of the way.

A mere 5 months after first contacting PMAS, I found myself on the operating table at Kingsbridge Private Hospital Belfast, where the staff’s professionalism and helpfulness were exceptional.

The operation was a success, and my recovery went smoothly. Completing my final review appointment, I reflect on how different my situation would’ve been without PMAS; languishing on the public waiting list seems inevitable in hindsight.

I wholeheartedly recommend this scheme to every soldier in the Defence Forces; the unforeseen can strike at any time, and for a mere €1.50 a week, the peace of mind it provides is invaluable. 

The staff at Kingsbridge Hospital were excellent, from checking in at the front desk to the medical professionals who carried out the procedure; the service was of the highest standard.

I am very thankful to have received such professional service, and I am especially grateful for the work and time Michael from the PMAS team has afforded me to receive this level of care.

Let’s talk about my case first when I needed access to a consultant. I decided to reach out to Damien and his team in the PMAS office and they were there for me from day one and all I had to do was turn up.  Thankfully, for me PMAS take care of all the administration and made my experience hassle free, in a very professional way. I have to say that from the first day I met the consultant to the day I received treatment, the follow ups from both PMAS and Kingsbridge have been first class. Cost free, hassle free and care with the highest standards by both Kingsbridge and PMAS. 

Now, in relation to my son, who was suffering with enlarged tonsils and enlarged adenoids. This was affecting his sleep, affecting his eating, making him very hoarse and prone to throat infections. We were eventually referred to ENT through the public system. But after 6 months of no contact from anyone I rang up and was told my son would be on the waiting list and it could be up to 54 months before we could get a consultation so that speaks for itself. 

I reached out to Damien and his team and asked him if they could help in any way, as we could let our son suffer any longer, as it was really affecting his wellbeing. Within 24 hours the PMAS team got back to me and said they could help. We got the referral letter sent on the 8th of December and we had a consultation the second week in January in Kingsbridge Ballykelly, and then a date set for the procedure in February.
