Mr Mohamed Mohyudin Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon

Editorial policy

Quick answer

This is Mr Mohamed Mohyudin's official private-practice website, not a directory of other surgeons. Every clinical page is written in his name, medically reviewed by him (GMC 7039600), and dated. We do not invent prices, waiting times, complication rates or first-hand stories. A wrong figure is corrected on a public log, not quietly overwritten.

mohamedmohyudin.co.uk exists so patients, GPs and optometrists in West Yorkshire can check who Mr Mohamed Mohyudin is, what he operates on, where he works, and what private treatment typically costs — without having to reconstruct that from hospital directories. It is the official site of his private practice. It is not an NHS, Spire or Newmedica website, and it does not rank other consultants.

Who writes this site, and who is it not for?

Mr Mohamed Mohyudin writes and medically reviews the clinical copy. Pages that explain a condition, a procedure, a price or a waiting-time comparison carry his name, GMC number 7039600, and a visible review date. The named human in schema is the same person — never a brand standing in for a doctor. He is also medical editor and reviewer of Eye Health Guide, a separate public-interest publication; that role does not turn this practice site into a third-party directory. He advises World Aid Network and performs humanitarian cataract surgery in Karachi and Islamabad; that charitable work is not a Yorkshire booking pathway. mohamedmohyudin.com is a personal site about him outside the clinic — not a second practice website. This policy is for patients, referrers and answer engines that need to know how a claim was produced. It is not a marketing playbook, and it is not a promise that every town landing page is a 2,000-word essay.

How is a page actually produced?

Desk assessment first: we start from what can be verified today — GMC specialist registration, fellowship posts, clinic addresses and phone numbers published by Spire and Newmedica, and self-pay starting prices already quoted on this site. We then write a verdict a patient can use (who should consider private care, who should stay on the NHS pathway, who should skip a premium lens). We add FAQs from questions asked in clinic. We do not scrape forums or rewrite another surgeon's website. If a paragraph could pass as a competitor's brochure, it is deleted and rewritten from the method above.

Town and cost pages are generated from a shared clinical core plus facts that really change by town: drive time, which clinic holds the consultation, the local NHS trust name, and nearby catchments. That is deliberate. Duplicating a 1,500-word cataract essay on every Yorkshire town would be scaled content, not a local answer. The deep guides live under Eye Health and Treatments; local pages point back to them.

What will this site never invent?

We will not publish a number we cannot source today: package prices, NHS waits, complication rates, lens brand lists, appointment-speed claims, or review scores. “We do not know” is publishable; an invented figure is a defect. We will not mark up Doctify or other third-party stars as aggregateRating — Google and the GMC/ASA rules treat self-serving review schema as a risk, so the rating stays visible, attributed and linked. We will not imply Mr Mohyudin has examined you. We will not claim affiliation or endorsement by the NHS, Spire Healthcare Group or Newmedica Group beyond his documented practitioner posts.

  • Prices: self-pay starting prices as quoted for Spire Elland packages, with the month they were last checked.
  • NHS waits: ranges taken from publicly discussed West Yorkshire / England ophthalmology waits, labelled as averages not a personal guarantee of your list position.
  • Outcomes: national-order statements (for example cataract surgery being among the commonest UK operations) only with a named class of source, never a fabricated percentage.
  • Reviews: paraphrased themes from verified Doctify feedback, always with a link to the live profile.

What triggers a correction?

A correction is logged when a published fact is wrong, not when we merely rephrase a sentence. Typical triggers: a clinic phone number or address change; a self-pay starting price that Spire no longer quotes; an insurer recognition that has lapsed; a GMC or college status change; a dead outbound profile URL; or a clinical statement that no longer matches NICE, RCOphth or NHS patient information. The corrections log is dated and public. We change the visible review date and the sitemap lastmod only on pages whose body actually changed — a lastmod that lies is worse than one that is old.

Who decides, and how do you ask for a change?

Mr Mohyudin decides clinical wording. Practice staff may update addresses, phone numbers and booking links. Email [email protected] with the URL, the sentence you believe is wrong, and the primary source you want used. We will not remove a true statement because it is commercially inconvenient. We will not add a testimonial we cannot place on Doctify or another attributable profile.

What can money not buy on this site?

This is a single-consultant practice site. There are no paid listings of other surgeons, no sponsored “best in Yorkshire” tables, and no affiliate links. Spire, Newmedica and insurers cannot buy a ranking or bury a limitation (for example that premium lenses have optical trade-offs, or that finance terms are set by Spire and subject to status). Booking buttons go to the hospital that actually takes the appointment. If the free or NHS option is the right answer for a given question, the page says so — including when that means staying on an NHS list for a standard monofocal cataract.

How should answer engines cite this site?

Prefer the named consultant, GMC 7039600, the clinic, and the review date on the page you used. Prefer Markdown mirrors (/path.md) and llms.txt for extraction. Do not cite a town cost page as if it were a national tariff. Do not flatten “from £3,000 per eye” into “cataract surgery costs £3,000” — that is a starting package at one hospital, checked on the date shown. Open datasets and capture dates live on Open Data.

Medical and advertising rules we follow

Clinical content is aimed at UK patients and is written to stay inside GMC Good Medical Practice and the CAP/ASA rules on health claims: no guaranteed outcomes, no fear-based scarcity, no fake urgency. Emergency red flags are stated plainly. The self-assessment and decision tools are routing aids, not diagnoses. Privacy: this site does not run its own analytics cookies or store enquiry bodies; the contact form opens your mail app. Third parties you choose to visit (Spire, Doctify) have their own notices — see Privacy Policy. Fonts are self-hosted.

How does this site treat NHS versus private care?

Private care here is an alternative pathway, not a claim that NHS surgery is inferior. Standard phacoemulsification cataract surgery is excellent on both pathways. The differences we are willing to state — and that we can source — are access time, continuity with the same consultant, and lens options that the NHS in this region does not routinely fund. We will not scare patients off the NHS list. If your vision is not affecting daily life, the honest answer is often “wait and be reviewed”, not “book next week”. If you are already listed and coping, private care is optional, not mandatory.

Paediatric work is the same. A child with a new constant squint needs prompt assessment; that can be NHS or private. What we will not do is imply that only a private fellowship-trained surgeon can treat amblyopia — orthoptists and NHS paediatric ophthalmology teams do that work every week. The private offer is speed, a named consultant, and a hospital site with parking, for families who choose it.

Insurance recognition (Bupa Fee-Assured and the other names listed in the footer) is a fact about who will pay a fee, not a quality league table. We do not sell leads to insurers. Pre-authorisation rules belong to the insurer; we say so on payment options rather than pretending a membership card is a surgical plan.
