Choosing Sulis as a private patient
We do healthcare differently. When you arrive at Sulis Hospital you can tell straight away that it’s not your typical hospital…
Going private: Your personalised healthcare pathway
Looking after your health is key to living a happy, active and fulfilling life.
Yet navigating today's healthcare landscape can often feel overwhelming with countless choices and decisions to make.
Many people find themselves seeing several different clinicians, sometimes without clear communication between them. This can lead to a healthcare journey that feels disjointed or confusing.
Choosing private healthcare can offer a smoother, more personalised experience. With greater control, continuity and comfort.
Private healthcare means you are in charge of your wellbeing with confidence.
We are here to offer guidance and support with:
- Accessing specialised care through private consultations.
- Finding the right experts to discuss your symptoms.
- Scheduling appointments with specific consultants or specialties.
- Arranging appointments after referral from your GP. Not all consultants require a GP referral.
You don't need private medical insurance to access private healthcare. Paying for your treatment gives you the same flexibility.

At Sulis hospital, every detail has been shaped to support a calmer, more positive healthcare experience. Designed by renowned architects Foster & Partners, the building was conceived as a "quietly revolutionary" space where patients come first.

This soothing setting isn't just beautiful - it makes a meaningful difference. A relaxed atmosphere supports emotional wellbeing and can help promote smoother, faster recovery for our patients.
