Patients can be confident of receiving the best medical and nursing care, safe in the knowledge that the advanced facilities of one of the country’s newest hospitals are available to them. Furthermore, a complete range of back-up services is always available, which includes intensive care facilities. There will always be a doctor who can see you.
We provide a wide range of services including general medical, surgical and rehabilitation care with a total of 1,187 beds, many of which are single rooms for improved privacy and dignity for patients. Our private patients have the full benefit of these facilities and services. We endeavour, where possible, to accommodate private patients who stay with us in private rooms.
We take cleanliness and the risk of healthcare associated infections very seriously and work hard to ensure that the highest possible standards of cleanliness are maintained.

We believe that it is beneficial for our private patients to be treated in the area with the appropriate field of expertise. You will therefore be located in a clinic, day-case unit, single room or ward area specific to your required clinical treatment.
