Should I worry about having a septoplasty on the NHS?

I cannot breathe properly through the left side of my nose and doctors have confirmed that this is down to a deviated septum. I have been prescribed medication that alleviates swelling & consequent obstruction when I have an allergic reaction to things but the only thing that will solve the root problem is a septoplasty. As I can get this surgery on the NHS, should I treat it like I would a private surgery - ie, do lots of background checks on the surgeon they assign me and change it if need be?
