The Portland Hospital, London's internationally renowned private women's and children's hospital, has opened a new £1.8million outpatient centre in Hale.
The Portland Hospital Outpatient Centre in Hale represents a significant expansion for HCA Healthcare UK, marking the first time the hospital - famous for treating royalty and celebrities - has extended its specialist services beyond the capital.
The new Hale facility, located in Crown Passages, aims to provide women across the North West with access to the same expert-led treatment that has made the London hospital a household name.
The state-of-the-art centre offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to women at every stage of life.
From early pregnancy through to menopause, the facility provides specialist care including antenatal and postnatal services, gynaecology consultations, fertility advice and dedicated menopause support.
The centre features three modern consultation rooms and four purpose-built ultrasound rooms, alongside facilities for women's physiotherapy, midwife and consultant clinics, and well baby clinics. There's also an early pregnancy unit and private GP services.
The Hale centre is part of HCA UK's existing North West network, which includes The Wilmslow Hospital in Cheshire and The Christie Private Care in Manchester.
Jane Whitney-Smith, Chief Executive Officer of HCA UK's The Portland Hospital, said: "We are thrilled to be expanding The Portland Hospital to the North West with the launch of The Portland Hospital Outpatient Centre. This enables more women in the region to access elements of the specialist expert care The Portland Hospital is known for, closer to their homes."
She added: "The centre also enables seamless onward care pathways into our London hospital for births, and into our wider Manchester network for diagnostics, imaging and surgery."
