We are pleased to announce that the trust has signed a lease agreement for the use of Hadley Wood Hospital in High Barnet. 

The hospital will be used for private day surgery and out-patient clinics for a range of specialties, including dentistry, dermatology, ophthalmology and general surgery.

The acquisition forms part of the trust’s strategy to increase its income from private practice in order to fund investments in services for NHS patients.

Estate works will be concluded shortly and we hope to begin running out-patient clinics, day surgery and endoscopy services towards the end of the year.

Visit the private patients unit website or contact the communications team on rf.mediaenquiries@nhs.net for further details on Hadley Wood Hospital and our private patients' services.
