Patients coming to St Joseph’s Hospital rightly expect the highest levels of medical skill and professionalism and that is a given. You would expect the same from any private hospital, but St Joseph’s is not just any private hospital.
Our ethos is to maintain the standard of care which has characterised the hospital for over 75 years, which its reputation is built upon.
St Joseph’s offers you impeccable care, set apart by the smiles and warmth of every member of our staff.
We appreciate that coming to a hospital is a stressful experience for our patients and we are committed to helping you through your treatment in the most pleasant manner possible.
When you arrive at St Joseph’s you will be greeted by our reception team. You can expect to experience a warm smile and pleasant words, coupled with courteous efficiency.
One of the key factors in St Joseph’s Hospital success lies in the consultants we attract to conduct their private practices at the hospital. We have over 160 consultants who choose to give us the benefit of their support and they do that because they want to work in the environment that the hospital provides.
They are all eminent and vastly experienced in their chosen specialties and in each specialty we are fortunate to have leading individuals. Your care is in the hands of the right people.
Our clinicians cover many different disciplines but they are each carefully selected and all of them play a key role in your care.
Advanced diagnosis relies upon the skill of a radiographer to capture the best images possible. Those images must then be interpreted by specialist radiologists and St Joseph’s utilises the services of the best in the region and across the UK.
Our doctors working in our Private GP Centre and other areas are similarly skilled and fully embrace the ethos of the hospital.
The St Joseph’s nurses are a very special group of people - highly dedicated, warm and caring and with a considerable depth of experience between them. Highly trained and continually refreshing their knowledge of the latest developments in nursing.
Led by our Director of Clinical Services, the nursing team at St Joseph’s relish working in an establishment which allows them the time to care for their patients. They believe passionately in the traditions and disciplines of care which we always maintain.
Our Centre for Advanced Diagnostics is led by a team of very experienced radiographers who combine years of experience with the training to be at the forefront of the latest advances in imaging.
Our support team across catering and cleaning embody the same culture as the rest of our staff. Nothing is too much trouble, and whatever you need is available on request and delivered with a ready smile and a cheery word.
