Strategic Investment

Investing in our network of hospitals

The company is now the second largest private hospitals group in the UK

Spire Healthcare is a growing organisation, with 2008 seeing the purchase of Classics Hospitals and Thames Valley Hospital (the former Gerrards Cross Hospital). The company is now the second largest private hospitals group in the UK.

In addition to acquiring new hospitals, Spire Healthcare also invests in developing the existing portfolio to meet the needs of local communities. A selection of these initiatives are described below.

Investing in quality

Spire Healthcare is committed to investing in the quality of service provided at each of its 36 hospitals. Our commitment to infection control and excellence in healthcare standards has resulted in the organisation receiving a number of awards, as highlighted below.

CancerPartners UK

Spire Healthcare has embarked on a partnership with CancerPartners UK to provide cutting edge cancer treatments on three Spire Healthcare private hospital sites - the first private radiotherapy services outside London.

Expanded cancer centres will be built on the Spire Healthcare private hospital sites in Southampton, Birmingham and Portsmouth to deliver state of the art private radiotherapy services using the latest generation technologies, including Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT). These are shown to have significant benefits in treating some of the UK’s most common cancers including breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Computer assisted knee surgery

Computer assisted surgery uses 3D imaging and real time monitoring in the planning and execution of surgical procedures in trauma and orthopaedics.

Orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Ashvin Pimpalnerkar, who is leading the development of the new service at Spire Little Aston Hospital, said: “Computer aided surgery provides the surgeon with greater visualisation, improved accuracy and precision of surgical procedures and for the patient, reduced post operative pain and hospital stay.”

The technique is currently being used for total knee replacement, ligament reconstruction, cartilage injury mapping and grafting.

Independent Sector Healthcare Outcomes Award and the Spire Clinical Scorecard

Spire Healthcare won the 2008 Health Outcomes Award at the Laing and Buisson Independent Healthcare Provider Awards 2008.
