85% of their patients are NHS as well as self-paid and insured patient work too, so the reason you went into healthcare is front and centre of all my client does, and they do truly achieve the best patient outcomes through effective and safe secondary care and are reducing the wait times of the NHS too!

You’ll also work within modern, safe, clean hospitals with state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technology with a peer group of esteemed surgeons, professors, nurses and theatre staff. It truly is a great place to work and collaborate with some of the best clinicians in the UK. There is a high functioning outpatient and physio team, all working together as one.

There is no Emergency Department or Trauma Ward, and because all surgery is elective and planned, there are always plenty of beds, so the surgical lists run smoothly as scheduled day in, day out. The clinical work is consistent, and the hospital environment is a very relaxed, calm space as a result. The hospitals are all very airy, spacious, light and clean.
