UK independent healthcare is gaining ground as the NHS struggles with several key challenges, including record wait times, staff shortages, and draining capital. In an in-depth discussion with HealthInvestor UK, Managing Director Adam Thorpe highlights how providers who capitalize on tightening government budgets, while continually delivering quality care in high-need areas, are poised to succeed—especially if they strike the right balance between public service and profitable private offerings.


Learn why Adam believes UK healthcare is entering a pivotal moment, what challenges he feels remain for independent providers, and his observations on how private sector involvement is shaping the future of care delivery.

“The UK has always felt very proud of the NHS, but attitudes are shifting, and the NHS needs to evolve. It makes sense for patients to get treatment in the independent sector if they are satisfied with the quality and CQC rating of the provider and it helps reduce waiting times and improve outcomes.


“There is more NHS funded volume going into the independent sector than before, but patients are also increasingly acting as consumers and getting treatment funded by private medical insurance or just paying themselves. This is a notable trend compared with 5-10 years ago.”
