At HCA Healthcare UK, we offer the latest medical expertise, therapies and technologies. However, our approach isn’t just clinical. We deliver healthcare with a human touch. Whether they specialise in cancer, cardiac, neurology, orthopaedics or paediatrics, all our centres have the same priority – our patients.
“You’re going to be joining a group which leads the field in private healthcare.”
John Reay
President and Chief Executive Officer, HCA Healthcare UK
“Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life” – Dr Frist
Dr Thomas Frist founded HCA (Hospital Corporation of America) in 1968, with a vision of creating a healthcare company with the scope, resources and expertise to provide the highest possible standard of care.
Now, with nearly 300 hospitals across the US and UK, 87,000 nurses and 37,000 doctors, HCA is one of the world’s leading providers of private healthcare services. We learn from every one of our 27 million patient encounters each year, helping to ensure that we deliver the outstanding care that we would want for our own family to each and every individual patient.
HCA UK opened its doors in 1995. Since then, we have built a world class network of over 30 facilities in London and Manchester, each with the latest diagnostic and treatment equipment and facilities. In 2017, we opened new outpatient and diagnostic facilities in Chiswick, Elstree, Marylebone and Chelsea, bringing world class care to each of these communities.

It’s not just our technology and patient-first philosophy that sets HCA Healthcare UK apart. We’re the only independent healthcare group in the UK to specialise in acute and complex care and, unlike our competitors, we have our own on-site critical care units.

Our investment in the latest innovations empowers our people to work to the highest standards as they carry out complex procedures for a diverse range of conditions, from cardiac to oncology-related illnesses and many others.

The da Vinci© Surgical System is a precise computer-enhanced surgical robot designed to mimic the operating surgeon’s hand and wrist movements.
The extremity MRI scanner has been designed for detailed diagnostic imaging of the hands, wrists, elbows, feet, ankles and knees.
Gamma Knife is a ground-breaking piece of equipment used to treat brain tumours and certain brain conditions with incredible precision.
Our PET-CT scanners combine the technology of computised tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) in one full body scanner.

We were the first private hospital group in the UK to offer robotic orthopaedic procedures using the MAKOplasty robotic arm.
Through the Visualase™ system we’re able to treat tumours that were previously thought to be inoperable.
Our mission is to commit to the care and improvement of human life above all else.
To achieve this, we all live and breathe four core values.
We recognise and value everyone as unique and individual
We treat people with kindness and compassion
We act with absolute honesty, integrity and fairness
We trust and treat one another as valued members of the HCA UK family with loyalty, respect and dignity
It’s not just our facilities, treatments and technology that keep us at the forefront of healthcare. It’s our people too. Helping everyone to learn and grow at HCA UK is a core pillar of our colleague strategy. To enable this we invest heavily every year in professional and personal development.
For those colleagues that directly care for our patients we offer a wide range of development opportunities which include many clinically focused study days such as Advanced Life Support, Intravenous Cannulation and Advanced Airway. These study days are designed to meet individual development needs and provide resources to deliver the highest standards of patient care.
Clinicians in leadership roles can access clinical leadership courses, including the RCN Accredited Being an Effective Clinical Leader programme. In partnership with Cass Business School, we also offer an Executive Masters in Medical Leadership programme, with a fully funded part-time MSc, to help junior doctors develop the leadership skills for senior roles in the future.
We offer a range of Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) development programmes that support aspiring leaders through to senior leaders. For senior leaders we offer a fully funded Executive Master in Leadership and Executive MBA. Our programme of Leadership Essentials is designed to equip all leaders with the core skills, knowledge and behaviours that they need to be successful.
We also offer a range of professional qualifications to all our colleagues, including Customer Service and Business Administration, that provide a structured learning programme delivered through workplace learning with the support of a dedicated learning adviser.
Wherever possible, we support flexible working. As well as full-time roles, we have part-time, annualised hours, term-time only and bank opportunities.
