Supporting the NHSDorset Heart Clinic income supports the NHS. The business model is based upon keeping private work within The Royal Bournemouth Hospital so that income can be used to benefit frontline NHS clinical services – supporting clinical staff and allowing the NHS to purchase new equipment. We believe this is an important point of differentiation between ourselves and the traditional private hospital model.
-
Leading TechnologyTechnology plays a crucial role in healthcare. And the latest technology is required for the best care. For this reason, we use the latest cutting-edge medical equipment and software in the field, from patient examinations to diagnosis to treatments.
-
Safety of the NHSWe believe high quality and safe healthcare go hand in hand. Our location within the Royal Bournemouth Hospital provides our patients with the knowledge that they have on-site access to the very best staff and clinical resources 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Private hospitals often lack these resources and therefore require an emergency transfer policy with their nearest NHS hospital – this is why we are proud to offer Care without Compromise.
-
Quick and Easy AccessAny health condition can be stressful, so we strive to offer quick and easy access to all our services. From same-day appointments to speedy results—rapid diagnosis to effective treatment; we aim to bring our patients peace of mind.
Our Patient Testimonials
"I cannot speak highly enough. After my initial emergency treatment, I knew my prognosis, and so I dropped into ask about private treatment. I accepted the fixed price private consultation on the spot. My consultant, a highly experienced cardiologist, was kind and unhurried. He put me at my ease and enabled me to make a completely informed decision how to choose my procedure. He even came in person to greet me on the day itself! Having my own consultant smoothed the way for my successful treatment. I will always recommend their expertise!"
