Patient notifications

Our purpose is ‘making a positive difference to people’s lives, through outstanding personalised care’.

Our ambition is to provide excellent standards of patient safety, clinical accountability and customer service, and continuously seek improvement.

As a responsible healthcare business, we have robust systems for the oversight of clinicians practising with us. We continuously review the practice of all the consultants who work with us.

Very occasionally, when we have concerns about a consultant’s work, we may invite patients back for a consultation or undertake a review of their care. This is called a patient recall or a patient notification exercise (PNE). We may also sometimes contact patients if a manufacturer or regulator has highlighted an issue with a specific medical product. 

When this happens, we work together with other hospitals where the consultant has worked, both in the NHS and the private sector. We also work closely with our regulators and those of the consultant. We always work to put the welfare of every patient at the centre of our process.

Below are details of Spire’s current patient recalls. These consultants no longer have practising privileges at Spire Healthcare hospitals.

If you were a patient of one of these consultants and have any concerns about the care you received, please get in touch with us by phone or email.
