This market engagement exercise is intended to explore the opportunity with interested parties to gauge market interest, and to share and develop ideas. Background Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GWH) has a history of offering private healthcare via a dedicated Private Patient facility - The Shalbourne Unit - but since the Covid pandemic, the provision of private healthcare is now distributed across the Trust’s wards, theatres, minor procedure and outpatient areas. The Great Western Hospital Private Patient service is currently provided within the Surgery & Planned Care Division. Most private outpatient activity takes place outside NHS core hours, and the majority of admitted private patient care (85%) is undertaken as Day Case activity. Private Patient Consultations are available across 22 different specialities, with approx 50 Consultants using the GWH in-house service to conduct their private practice over the last 12mths. Turnover in 2024-25 is forecasted to be £3m, 11% higher than 2023-24. For more information, please see the dedicated website for private health provision at GWH at https://www.gwhprivatehealthcare.com Additional information for consideration Considerable unmet demand for private health care has been identified within and around Swindon, with further significant local population growth anticipated. An active Consultant body exists within the Trust, with over 100 clinicians currently engaging in Private Practice – interest has been expressed in a new development as many Consultants would wish to undertake more private practice on the GWH site. The expansion of Private Healthcare at GWH is supported by the Board (Non-Executives & Executives) and the Trust’s clinical leadership. GWH owns a significant parcel of expansion land (5.5 Hectares) immediately alongside the hospital. This offers operator partners an opportunity to physically ‘co-locate’ a new Private Healthcare Facility with GWH NHS FT. GWH can offer a broad spectrum of clinical, diagnostic and support services to potential partners, including intensive care & HDU facilities. Initial review has suggested that a 4,000-6,000m2 private healthcare facility, over 2 or 3 storeys, might be the appropriate scale of development – but this is not a fixed view and the Trust would welcome feedback from the market. Oxford University Hospitals also has a Radiotherapy facility on the GWH site. GWH has appointed a commercial development partner (Prime PLC) who can facilitate the delivery of new facilities to the operator’s requirements. GWH has recently delivered two significant government-funded construction schemes on the Swindon site. GWH has experience of working with private finance and 3rd party service providers. GWH operates from a very attractive modern PFI Hospital site. GWH has excellent motorway (M4) and railway (GWR) connectivity.
