Royston Hospital is the number one provider of private surgical services in the Hawke's Bay region.

Supported by the very latest technology, equipment and facilities Royston Hospital provides the most comprehensive range of private surgical facilities in the Hawke’s Bay area. The treatment and care you receive will be of the highest standard and our staff will do their best to help you return to good health as quickly and as comfortably as possible. At Royston, we are committed to providing high quality care having regard for your individual requirements. You will experience particular attention from our staff aimed to ensure you enjoy a superior level of care, comfort and convenience. Our nursing staff are experienced health professionals committed to providing care for patients and their families in a compassionate, personal manner. They appreciate that a stay in hospital is often a major event in their patients' lives. That is why they make a special effort to get to know the people under their care and attend personally to individual patient requirements. Acurity Hospitals are accredited by DAA Group to rigorous EQuIP4 Accreditation Standards. This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to continuous quality improvement in all aspects of healthcare. In 2014 the ACC Workplace Safety Management Programme 'tertiary level' status was achieved. Mandatory Ministry of Health Certification is undertaken 3 yearly. We also offer a warm welcome to all visitors and invite those considering private medical and surgical treatment to meet with staff and view the hospital facilities. The Royston Centre, adjoining the hospital, provides specialist consulting rooms as well as physiotherapy and radiology facilities (including private MRI and CT). This is why Royston is the choice for so many Hawke's Bay people when it comes to specialist surgical treatment or medical care. The Acurity Health Group are proud to be members of the New Zealand Private Surgical Hospitals Association (NZPSHA) who represent the interests of private surgical hospitals within New Zealand.

We were honoured to welcome Julian Loh, QIC Sustainability Manager for Climate, Nature and Innovation, and Scott Pickering, Evolution Chair, to this year's He Autaia Awards evening. Julian and Scott presented the QIC Innovation Awards (Safety Category) to Tanja Klumpers (Evolution Healthcare) and Kerri Cooley (Royston Hospital) for the outstanding achievements and continued rollout of the WebPAS Project.

The WebPAS Project was the runner-up for Hospitals and Day Surgeries in the 2024 He Autaia Quality Awards for the implementation of the Patient Journey Boards within Royston Hospital and Wakefield Hospital. Since then, it has been rolled out across BirthcareParnell and Anglesea Hospital, and has been further implemented at Royston Hospital and Wakefield Hospital, creating enhanced patient care across the sites by providing visibility of the patient's stage of care, from triage to wards, and who is leading their care.

The project was then entered in the QIC Innovation Awards held in August this year, in which they won the Safety Category.

Congratulations to the Evolution Healthcare IT & Royston & Wakefield hospital teams who worked to develop the e-whiteboard project. A well-deserved recognition! 🎉💙
