Choosing RUH Private Patient Service
All funds generated by the RUH's Private Patient Service are reinvested back into the NHS for the benefit of all patients.
Your choice for private treatment in a trusted NHS hospital.
We’re working with the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust to offer private patient services on the RUH site. This gives patients the option to fund their own treatment or use private medical insurance while receiving care in a trusted NHS hospital environment.
The Private Patient Service at the RUH is run by Sulis Hospital which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust. Sulis Hospital operates as a unique model where all surplus funds from private healthcare are reinvested back into the NHS.
