Welcome to Circle

Circle is a new kind of healthcare venture - a partnership of clinicians that puts patients at the centre.

(Are you a clinician interested in the Circle Academy's Leadership Conference? Click here for details.)

We are, above all, the agents of our patients. And in our growing network of hospitals and clinics, we back those beliefs up with formal structure. Every department head works alongside a clinical leader. Every patient pathway is designed by clinicians. And frontline staff are empowered to help a patient in need, any time, on their own authority. Doing what's right for patients, every time.

And that's why we care about the softer, less easily defined aspects of patient care as much as hard technology and clinical skills. In our hospitals you'll find state-of-the-art theatres and diagnostic equipment - but also relaxing interiors and fine organic food. Take our new CircleBath hospital, a symphony of light and space designed by Foster + Partners. Or our Nottingham Centre, where individual gateways keep everything on a human scale despite a flow of 170,000 NHS patients a year.

Because we believe healthcare isn't about curing the sick. It's about establishing a state of health. For you and your family, forever.
