Leicester is one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse cities in the country, and a healthcare website that assumes a single kind of reader will lose patients before it ever explains what it offers. Clear, plain-English writing and genuinely accessible pages are not a nice-to-have here; they are how a private practice reaches the whole city rather than a fraction of it.
It is also a city where private treatment usually gets decided against an NHS alternative, served locally by the NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board. Patients want a plain answer to a plain question — what would I get privately, what would it cost over time, and is it worth it compared with waiting — and a website earns their trust by answering it directly, not around it.
What you get
- Clinical content written in plain English as standard, not as an afterthought
- WCAG 2.2 AA accessible pages: contrast, structure, keyboard and screen-reader support
- Content that addresses an NHS wait honestly rather than avoiding it
- Long-horizon cost calculators for weighing private treatment against waiting
- Published pricing so the private option is never a mystery
- CQC registration and GMC-aligned advertising content set out clearly
- Enquiry and booking data handled to ICO and UK GDPR guidance
- Ongoing care plans that keep the site secure and up to date
Written to be understood, not just read
We write clinical content in plain English as standard — short sentences, defined terms, no jargon left unexplained — and build every page to WCAG 2.2 AA: proper heading structure, strong colour contrast, keyboard navigation and screen-reader-friendly markup. In a city as diverse as Leicester, that is not a compliance checkbox; it is the difference between a patient understanding their options and giving up halfway down the page.
NHS wait, or private now
Patients weighing private treatment often start by asking about the NHS wait — how long it would take, what's involved, and what it costs across a lifetime rather than a single visit — before they decide whether to go private. Content that avoids that comparison, or buries it in marketing language, loses the patient's trust exactly when it matters most.
The East Midlands approach, applied here
Mr Jesse Panthagani, a consultant ophthalmologist and Cataract Surgery Lead at North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust practising privately across the East Midlands, has a site Aethus rebuilt on exactly this principle: six self-assessment tools, a ten-to-thirty-year cost calculator, published prices and a 104-piece article library, opening with a free video consultation rather than a hard sell. It is the model we bring to Leicester practices weighing the same NHS-versus-private question.
Built to the rules from the start
Alongside plain language and accessibility, we build clear CQC registration information, advertising content aligned with GMC guidance and the ASA's CAP Code, and ICO-aligned handling of patient enquiries and bookings — reviewed and kept current through our ongoing care plans.

“Since Aethus rebuilt my site around patient questions, more of my enquiries come from Google searches and from ChatGPT conversations, and I’m seeing more self-referring patients. The articles do the explaining before the consultation, so the patients who reach me are ready to talk about treatment.”— Mr Jesse Panthagani, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, private practice5.0 · 7 Google reviews

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with practices in Leicester?
Yes. Aethus is based in Bedford and works remotely and in person. Our East Midlands client is Mr Jesse Panthagani, whose private practice site we rebuilt; we have no Leicester-based clients yet.
Can you write content that's easy to understand for all patients?
Yes. Plain English helps every reader, whatever their background, and we build every page to WCAG 2.2 AA, which covers accessibility for patients using assistive technology.
Can the site explain the NHS-versus-private choice honestly?
Yes. We write content that addresses an NHS wait directly rather than avoiding it, so patients can compare their options plainly.
Do you publish prices?
Where a client wants that, yes — Mr Panthagani's site publishes prices clearly, and we would take the same approach for a Leicester practice.
Is the website accessible to screen readers and assistive technology?
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA: semantic structure, strong colour contrast, keyboard navigation and screen-reader-friendly markup, and you can have this checked before launch.
Is patient data handled to UK GDPR standards?
We handle enquiry and booking data to ICO and UK GDPR guidance, alongside CQC and GMC-aligned regulatory content, and you approve the compliance wording before launch.
