Highgate Private Hospital, in View Road, Highgate Private Hospital is run by Nuffield Health.
History
The hospital was established in 1988.[1] The building was acquired by Health Care REIT, Inc. in 2015 along with Aspen Healthcare's three other London hospitals for £226 million and leased back to Aspen on a 25-year lease.[2]
The hospital featured in a reported legal case in tort, Batt v Highgate Private Hospital [2004] which established that a widower could not recover damages in respect of the cost of the cosmetic surgery which had resulted in his wife's death at the hospital.[3]
It was expanded during 2015 at a cost of £13 million to provide 43 en-suite patient rooms, four operating theatres, an Endoscopy Suite, Physiotherapy Suite, 15 outpatient rooms, and a private GP service.[4] Neurosurgery services were expanded in 2013 with the recruitment of consultant neurosurgeon Mary Murphy.[5]
On 28 September 2021, it was announced that Highgate Private Hospital had become part of Nuffield Health. This was part of a wider agreement that includes Parkside Private Hospital, The Holly Private Hospital, Cancer Centre London, The Edinburgh Clinic and Aspen Healthcare Corporate Office.[6]
Services
Highgate Hospital is part of the NHS patient choice scheme, meaning patients can opt to have procedures performed there rather than in an NHS hospital.[7]
