Who are Circle?

Circle is another word for partnership and is a sign of inclusion, continuity and perfection in nature.

Circle is the U.K.'s largest Partnership of healthcare professionals. We strongly believe that to provide accessible, integrated 21st century healthcare, frontline professionals should be responsible for both the delivery and management of services. This approach empowers those who deliver care to tailor services to their patients' needs. Our collective pursuit of excellence is distilled in our company Credo.

With the aim of providing integrated care to patients in the most convenient setting, Circle is establishing a chain of hospitals, clinics and community services across the UK. Here, our patient-centric approach brings together the best in clinical practices, hospitality service standards and custom facility design.

At present we have three operational facilities with others under construction and in various stages of development. The first of our clinics opened in December 2007 in Stratford-upon-Avon. The first of our new-build hospitals, designed by the British architects Foster + Partners, is being constructed and will open in late 2009. We also serve NHS patients at our three Nations Healthcare Independent Sector Treatment Centres (ISTCs) in Burton on Trent, Nottingham and Eccleshill.
