including orthopaedics, gynaecology, cardiology, neurology, oncology and general surgery and also diagnostic services including imaging and pathology. The Group also offers outpatient services, such as consulting, minor procedures, treatments, health checks and physiotherapy. In 2014 Spire delivered tailored, personalised
care to more than 260,000 in-patients and day- case patients, and is the leading private provider by volume of knee and hip operations in the United Kingdom. As well as leading medical care, Spire places
a high emphasis on looking after people rather than just treating patients. In 2014, 92% of patients rated the care and attention from nurses as either excellent or very good and 98% of consultants would recommend Spire to a friend or family member. More than £654 million has been invested in Spire
hospitals since 2007. This huge investment has created facilities accredited as specialist centres for a range of medical and surgical specialties. Included within this investment is a commitment to develop a UK wide range of specialist cancer services. Spire currently has four radiotherapy centres in
partnership with Cancer Partners UK but its £13m Bristol radiotherapy centre (The Specialist Care Centre) is the first of a planned nationwide network of specialist centres. The centres will offer diagnostics, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, cancer surgery and ongoing care for cancer patients and survivors. The Specialist Care Centre in Bristol hosts an all-

delivery of treatment,” he says. “The feedback from patients treated has been overwhelmingly positive and they have all praised the individualised care and support provided through their cancer treatment pathway,” Bristol is one of few sites outside London offering
this service and allows Spire to deliver the entire cancer treatment pathway. Its success shows that private provision can play a key role in the future of cancer treatment. “Flexibility around treatment times with the option
of having radiotherapy treatment during the evenings or over the weekends has enabled patients to continue their normal working lives whilst undergoing their treatment schedule,” says Dr Bahl. In December 2014 Spire announced plans for
a second cancer centre next to Baddow Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex. This centre will comprise a radiotherapy facility, housing two state-of-the- art linear accelerators, a wide-bore CT scanner, consultant rooms and an eight bay chemotherapy suite. This centre supports Spire’s commitment to providing quality cancer care across the country. As they look to strengthen their position as a
leading UK private hospital group, Spire has also had approved planning applications for two new hospitals in Manchester and Nottingham to extend the range of services offered and grow its network of consultants, hospitals and clinics. “Spire continues to invest heavily to provide our
referring clinicians with the most up to date facilities and equipment, while all the time widening the range of specialities and conditions we treat”, says Neil McCullough, Business Development Director. “Since 2007 we have increased our number of
operating theatres from 103 to 122, with many more either under construction or planned. We are now looking forward to the next exciting phase of our growth story, which begins with two new state-of-the- art hospitals and a network of specialist care centres across the UK.”
