We are proud to have joined forces with Circle Health Group in January 2020. The Blackheath Hospital is benefitting from a major £250m national investment programme in facilities, technology and people.

On arrival at The Blackheath Hospital you will be welcomed by our friendly reception staff. A member of the porter team will take you to your room and explain all of the room facilities to you. We provide a variety of services to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Your care and comfort, together with peace of mind, are our priority.

We admit patients for a wide range of medical and surgical procedures. All patients are admitted under the care of a Consultant Surgeon or Physician of their choice. The hospital is able to draw on the expertise of these experienced consultants who chose to bring their practice to the hospital. 

The main hospital has 60 beds, with all rooms offering the privacy and comfort of en-suite facilities and satellite TV.

The excellent facilities include an imaging department and a high dependency unit, which is fully staffed and operational on a 24/7 basis ensuring patients receive the best care possible. The hospital has three main theatres, one minor treatment room and a dedicated Endoscopy Suite.

Over the years The Blackheath Hospital has received significant investment to expand and upgrade the facility including the opening of the outpatient facility. 

The hospital offers a wide variety of culinary choice from an à la carte menu and all dietary preferences are catered for. 

Visiting hours are flexible and visitors can also enjoy meals in the patient's room.
