Company Summary
In 2010, Pall Mall was born, a family run business with a clear vision. Fast forward 13 years and we have spearheaded the business, trebling our workforce along the way and laying down clear and ambitious growth plans for the future. This year we were also recognised in the Sunday Times ‘Best Places To Work 2023’ list.
Our purpose is to provide on-demand, high quality private healthcare and cosmetic surgery that meets the needs and expectations of patients and our vision is to be recognised and respected as the most patient-centric private healthcare provider in the north-west, by providing our patients with the best possible care, treatment and outcomes.
We’ve provided more details about the hospital below.

Ward – supporting our theatres we have two wards with beautiful en-suite bedrooms: 6 on the top floor, 5 on the middle floor.
Radiology – we’re proud to run a full radiology suite inclusive of static MRI, CT, X-Ray and Mammography machines.

Administrative services – finally, we have a team of Front of House Receptionists and Theatre Bookings Coordinators who look after our patients by booking appointments, arranging tests, sharing results and generally managing the patient journey.
Related departments & sites – supporting our hospital we have a small number of satellite clinics (similar to the Hospital’s Outpatient Clinic) who refer patients to us, as well as teams across: finance, marketing, facilities, patient experience, patient bookings and quality assurance/HR.
