We have been operating NHS Private Patient Units (PPUs) in partnership with NHS Trusts for over fifteen years.

 

We were the first independent company to ever open a specialist PPU in partnership with the NHS.  This very first PPU opened in 2008 at  Addenbrooke’s Hospital in partnership with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

​

We recognise the importance of providing patients facing long waiting times with choice and faster access. We also understand the value of generating additional private patient income to NHS Trusts.

​

We believe PPUs situated within NHS Trusts have embedded strengths compared to private hospitals as follows:-

​

• Patient safety with constant on-site consultants

• Complex procedures can be performed

• Quality of equipment & access to the latest technology

• Audit and National clinical standards can be met

• Staff quality and training

• Surpluses re-invested back into frontline NHS care

​

​

If you are an NHS manager and would like to discuss developing an NHS private patient unit, or if you believe your current PPU could be managed more effectively. We have a variety of economic and operating business models that we would be happy to present in more detail.
