About Capio


Capio Private Acute Hospitals


Capio is one of the leading providers of independent hospital services in England, with a network of 21 acute hospitals. These provide a wide and comprehensive range of specialised and efficient clinical specialties from orthopaedics and general surgery, to cardiac surgery and oncology.


Recognised by all major medical insurers, Capio offers fast, convenient, effective and high quality treatment for all patients, whether medically insured, self-pay, or from the increasing number referred by the NHS.




Capio Mental Health


Capio is one of the largest providers of specialised treatments for psychological and emotional problems, eating disorders and addictions.

Capio Diagnostics

Capio provides laboratory medicine, including a recently acquired specialised histopathology and cytology service, together with imaging services, on both a fixed and mobile basis to its patients. Four mobile imaging units are currently in operation, providing CT and MRI services at Capio's UK hospitals, as well as a number of NHS sites around the country.




Capio NHS Partnerships

In April 2004, Capio were appointed to carry out 9,000 operations in partnership with the NHS. Operations are being carried out nationally across 12 Strategic Health Authorities, with patients being treated in existing Capio hospitals.

In May 2004, Capio signed the largest public sector care contract ever awarded to a private healthcare provider in the UK. Under this contract 95,000 NHS patients will be treated by Capio over 5 years, in nine specialist centres - five newly built, two in NHS facilities, and two in Capio's existing hospitals in England.




Capio Eye

Using the clinical delivery pathways and efficiencies of its highly successful operation in Scandinavia, Capio Eye opened in London during Summer 2004. This highly specialised facility, a branch of Capio's innovative service line strategy, offers a range of treatments for ophthalmic patients, in particular those requiring cataract surgery.

The centre is set to transform the way in which cataract surgery is performed in the UK, providing a safe, specialised and effective facility for patients from the UK and overseas.
