What is the RUH Private Patient Service?
Private treatment in the NHS hospital environment – ideal for patients with complex needs.
The Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust Private Patient Service allows patients to choose private care while staying within the acute hospital environment. Your treatment is delivered by experienced consultants and clinical teams who also care for NHS patients.

- Continuous care from a consultant of your choice.
- Profits generated from private services are re-invested back into the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust to improve care and facilities for all patients.
- Should things not go to plan, you would have direct access to any additional support including specialists, intensive care and monitoring as required.
