About us

This hospital offers day care treatment for a range of specialties including pain management and ophthalmology and has access to high dependency unit facilities, a radiology and physiotherapy department, three theatres, five consulting rooms and 29 beds.

All of our bedrooms offer privacy and the comfort of full ensuite facilities with a bath or shower.

Patient care is undeniably our first concern. Our dedicated nursing staff provide professional care within a friendly and comfortable environment, helping to ensure that coming into hospital is a more pleasurable and less anxious time for you and your family. Our primary concern is your safety and peace of mind.

We also have a resident medical officer (RMO) who is available 24 hours a day to ensure that patients are safe and cared for at all times. Should your care needs change following surgery or treatment, we may need to transfer you to another hospital. This will either be to an NHS or another Circle hospital. Transfers of care only take place when absolutely necessary.

The Chiltern Hospital can offer a consultation only service for children and young people under the age of 18 so please contact them if you need to make an appointment on 01494 890890 and select option 1.
