WINNER: Spire Healthcare and the NHS in England, Wales and Scotland: Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Spire Healthcare led the independent sector into a unique partnership with the NHS to provide support to the service during the pandemic. During 2020-21, Spire’s 39 hospitals across England, Wales and Scotland put their staff, facilities and services at the disposal of the NHS and provided treatment and diagnosis for over a quarter of a million NHS patients whose care would otherwise have been delayed or cancelled.

Much of this was urgent or life-saving treatment for people with cancer or cardiac conditions. Spire also helped to restart orthopaedic care for people in chronic pain. Spire’s support laid the foundations for a longstanding partnership between the NHS and the independent sector.
