The Alexandra Hospital is a private hospital in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, operated by BMI Healthcare. It is the largest private hospital in the UK outside London.[1]
History
[edit]The facility was founded in 1981,[2] and has treated a number of notable patients, including Russell Watson,[3] Fabrice Muamba,[4] and Alex Ferguson.[5] Matt Busby died in the hospital in 1994.[6]
Services
[edit]Over 600 consultants work from the hospital, offering a range of services including Orthopaedics, Cardiology, Fertility treatment, an imaging suite including CT and MRI, seven operating theatres, and a 5-bed intensive care unit. The hospital has 128 beds, all in individual en-suite rooms.[7]
The hospital's latest inspection by the Care Quality Commission found most aspects of care to be 'Good', but the safety of its intensive care facility was judged as 'Requires Improvement'.[8]
In 2016, the hospital was criticised for employing an anaesthetics nurse who had forged her qualifications.[9][10]
