Spire Healthcare opens GBP65m state of the art flagship hospital
in Manchester
Spire Healthcare, a leading private hospital group, is pleased
to announce that, following successful registration with the Care
Quality Commission, it has today opened its new hospital in
Didsbury, South Manchester. Replacing the previous hospital in
Whalley Range, this GBP65m state-of-the-art facility will offer
patients a wide range of integrated surgical, medical and
diagnostic services that will meet the needs of Manchester and
surrounding areas.
Designed with extensive input from consultants, staff and
patients, this leading edge facility comprises 6 operating
theatres; 76 patient beds (inpatient and day-case) and 23
outpatient consulting and treatment rooms. It will offer complex
surgery and medicine through a large and fully functioning
Intensive Therapy Critical Care Unit (CCITU) including 5 Level 3
Critical Care beds, together with ultramodern diagnostic and
imaging equipment from Siemens. Other new services include
hydrotherapy, a hybrid theatre and a 120 seat education centre.
Chris Chadwick, Spire Manchester Hospital Director, said: "This
new hospital is in a prime location and will provide local and
wider Manchester communities with excellent access to a
comprehensive range of medical services and up-to-date
facilities.
"We are delighted to have made this investment in better patient
services, better patient accommodation and better technology
enabling us to deliver the highest quality care and clinical
outcomes for all our patients at Spire Manchester Hospital."
Neil McCullough, Spire's Business Development Director, said: "I
am thrilled that we have been able to complete this project on time
and within budget. This new state of the art hospital will bring
significant employment and economic benefits to the local Didsbury
community as well as a leading healthcare centre for
Manchester.
"I would like to thank our patients, staff, consultants,
Siemens, Manchester City Council and various contractors who have
been instrumental over the past two years in building what is
undoubtedly one of the best independent hospitals in the country,
and which brings together research, education and clinical care to
serve those locally and beyond."
