Our values

Our goal is to provide outstanding healthcare, ensuring that every patient receives the highest quality care tailored to their unique needs. Our values are the pillars that support that mission.

“The financial surplus from Sulis Hospital is reinvested back into Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust for the benefit of all patients.”

Simon Milner, Hospital Director Sulis Hospital

Supporting Your NHS

What makes us truly unique is our ownership: we are the first fully operational private hospital in the UK to be wholly owned by an NHS Trust - the Royal United Hospital Bath NHS Foundation Trust.

This means all surplus funds generated by Sulis Hospital are reinvested directly into the NHS, supporting public healthcare delivery and enhancing capacity for NHS patients. 

This is a rare model where private healthcare directly strengthens the public system.

Reimagining Health System Capacity

Sulis is more than a hospital - it's a strategic health partner for the South West. Through collaborations with regional NHS Trusts, it helps increase surgical and diagnostic capacity, reduce waiting lists and support elective care recovery - blending the efficiency of private care with the equity of public service.

This is private healthcare with public purpose - a bold vision of what a truly socially conscious health system can look like.

Purpose-Driven Care

At its core, Sulis exists to make healthcare better for everyone, not just those who can afford it. The hospital delivers:

  • Improved access to diagnostics, specialist appointments and surgery.
  • Collaborative care between the NHS and private professionals.
  • A patient-first ethos driven by values of respect, compassion and clinical excellence.

OUR MISSION

We are dedicated to enhancing the quality of people’s lives through the provision of exceptional care. Everything we do helps to make healthcare better for everyone.

  • We put patients and their safety above all else.
  • We believe in nurturing our teams to be the best they can be.
  • We aim to bring real value to our community.
  • As a leading private hospital 100% owned by an NHS Trust, we’re proud to be reinvesting back into the NHS.

Care and compassion

We treat every patient how we would like to be treated, and we work with people who believe in this too. Rapid access to diagnostics and specialist appointments are just some of the ways we’re reassuring patients that they’re in safe hands.
