The ninth edition of the Private Acute Healthcare UK Market Report is vital reading for anyone involved in this highly competitive sector of the UK health economy, be they providers, investors or advisors to the sector.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the Private Acute Healthcare Central London Market Report presents a market that has bounced back to pre-pandemic levels. This is thanks in part to an increase in self-pay patients. With strong underlying growth predicted for 2022 and beyond, the report raises the question of whether the independent sector is ready to rise to the challenge or will rising costs hinder future growth.

With fierce competition among providers, including new entrants such as Cleveland Clinic London, the report offers valuable insights combined with extensive data analysis into the future of the sector. Findings of the report include:

  • Analysis of the private acute healthcare Central London market after the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic and how the market has returned to pre-pandemic levels.
  • The increase in the number of self-pay patients, in part due to increased NHS waiting lists.
  • Impact of the Covid pandemic on NHS Private Patient Units (PPUs) and their slower recovery compared to the rest of the independent sector.
  • Highly competitive nature of the market as overall inpatient bed capacity increased by over 10%
  • The report raises the question of whether the independent sector is ready to shine or will pressures of rising costs hinder future growth.
