Our purpose

Private healthcare with public purpose

Sulis Hospital is not just a state-of-the-art private healthcare provider - it's a pioneering example of socially conscious innovation in the UK healthcare system. What makes it truly unique is its ownership: it's the first fully operational private hospital in the UK wholly owned by an NHS Trust - the Royal United Hospital Bath NHS Foundation Trust.

This means all surplus funds generated by Sulis Hospital are reinvested directly into the NHS, supporting public healthcare delivery and enhancing capacity for NHS patients. It's a rare model where private healthcare directly strengthens the public system.

Purpose-Driven Care

At its core, Sulis exists to make healthcare better for everyone, not just those who can afford it. The hospital delivers:

  • Improved access to diagnostics, specialist appointments and surgery.
  • Collaborative care between NHS and private professionals.
  • A patient-first ethos driven by values of respect, compassion and clinical excellence.

Reimagining Health System Capacity

Sulis is not just a hospital - it's a strategic health partner for the South West. Through collaborations with regional NHS Trusts, it helps increase surgical and diagnostic capacity, reduce waiting lists and support elective care recovery - blending the efficiency of private care with the equity of public service.

This is private healthcare with public purpose - and a bold vision of what a truly socially conscious health system can look like.
