Rivers Hospital, Hertfordshire
The Rivers Hospital is one of the leading private hospitals in
the UK and being just off the M11, it is easily accessible from
London and the Home Counties. The hospital is located in
Sawbridgeworth on the Essex, Hertfordshire border in beautiful
countryside. A sweeping drive through landscape grounds leads you
to ample free car parking and our award wining team focused on
providing individual care to meet your needs.
The hospital opened in 1992 and is equipped with the latest
medical facilities for diagnosis and treatment, and has very high
quality clinical standards including effective infection prevention
measures.
All our patient rooms are en suite and our Premium Care patients
benefit from extras such as A la carte menus and Sky TV.
By investing in advanced medical technology, the hospital offers
a wide range of treatments and services. The four fully equipped
theatres with ultra clean air technology are particularly suitable
for orthopaedic procedures offered such as arthroscopy, hip and
knee replacement. A brand new day surgery suite is suitable for
minor surgery and endoscopy procedures.
Services are Consultant led and flexible appointment times are
offered, including out of hours. A rigorous vetting procedure
ensures that only suitably qualified and experienced surgeons are
granted practicing privileges.
The hospital is strictly regulated and audited by the Care
Quality Commission, the government body responsible for maintaining
standards.
In 2009, the hospital was named as one of the top healthcare
employers in the UK. The hospital was honoured in the Healthcare
100, organised by national magazines Nursing Times and Health
Service Journal. The Rivers was awarded 4th place in the poll,
which is judged by the views of employers and their staff, and
analysed by leading research firm Ipsos MORI. The poll was open to
all healthcare providers nationwide, including the whole of the NHS
and independent healthcare providers.
The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement, one of the
sponsors of the awards, said: ‘A good employer and good people
management means better safety and quality of care’ for
patients.
The Rivers also won the Customer Care award in the Harlow and
District Business Awards in 2010.
