🏥 Access to timely, high‑quality healthcare is an important priority across the UK. At Ramsay Health Care UK, we’re focused on supporting positive health outcomes and contributing to strong, sustainable local healthcare services.

We’re pleased to welcome Members of Parliament to our hospitals across the country, giving them the opportunity to see first‑hand how independent providers can work alongside the NHS to support patient care and capacity.

These visits highlight:
✅ Our collaborative work with local NHS Trusts
✅ Additional elective surgery capacity that supports patient choice
✅ Continued investment in facilities, technology and clinical expertise
✅ A consistent focus on safe, high‑quality care for both NHS and private patients

By engaging openly with policymakers and partners, we help foster a shared understanding of how collaboration across the healthcare system can benefit patients and communities alike.
Because when healthcare organisations work together, patients are better supported.

But as thrilling as winter sports are, having fun on the slopes can lead to injury, and it's important to know when to seek help from an expert.

In this article, we explore the most common winter sports injuries and what to do when accidents happen. Read it here 👉 https://ow.ly/UF7l50Yl994

💙 Well done Team Duchy💙

A huge well done to all our staff here at Duchy Hospital, for the amazing patient feedback we received today.

“On Tuesday 10th Feb I attended Duchy Hospital as a day patient for hand surgery. From the moment I was greeted at reception to the moment I left post surgery I was made to feel so relaxed and reassured that any anxiety very quickly disappeared.

Every single person met me with a genuine welcoming smile and kind, friendly conversation. In those few short hours I felt that I was in the safe hands and warm company of old friends. In a world that too often has little time for care, compassion or kind words the Duchy Hospital is a beacon of light.

Thank you. I hope you can pass on my huge thanks and very best regards to one and all.”
