Private Healthcare Awards 2024 www.ghp-news.com
Global Health & Pharma is excited to announce that the Private Healthcare Awards are set to return for an eighth consecutive year in 2024! Private Healthcare Awards 2024 This long-running programme aims to showcase the top service providers across the Private Health sector, and to recognise the vital contributions of those innovating and disrupting the market today. Thanks to competitive pricing, greater accessibility, and shorter waiting times, Private Healthcare is gaining a clear market advantage over traditional state-funded services. This means that each year, more and more patients around the world are turning to self-payment or private medical insurance options for their health treatments. Previously it was elective and non-urgent procedures that made up the majority of private-based services, but consumer interest in this segment continues to rise, increasing demand for private GPs, consultations, and diagnostics. Private Health providers are taking an innovative approach to attracting new patients, fuelling revenue growth across the sector. The pandemic accelerated this growth within the Private Health market, as international health systems were put under immense strain and almost all resources had to be redirected to covid-related cases. In response to this rapidly rising demand there was a spike in private sector referrals, emphasising the important role Private Healthcare plays in ensuring the continuity of supply chain and business operations throughout the overall Health industry. Recent reports anticipate a positive long-term outlook for the Private Health market, as patient behaviour is evolving to place increasing importance on efficient, technology-driven, and personalised services.

10 When Mr. Sabur Malek became an orthopaedic consultant back in 2011, he already had seven years in the industry, primarily in NHS settings across England and Wales. Having now filled more than half a dozen different positions relating to orthopaedic surgery, first in NHS facilities and then in private practice for the likes of Nuffield Health, Sabur is today a hip and knee replacement surgery specialist, operating mainly out of Stafford’s Rowley Hall Hospital and Birmingham’s West Midlands Hospital. Concentrating on clinical work and treating both NHS and private patients at both of these hospitals, Sabur is afforded the opportunity to carry out a more patient-centred approach to care, and we catch up with him to find out more about this role. In the field of hip and knee surgery, Sabur Malek is somewhat of a celebrity, famed in industry circles for his particular expertise regarding minimally invasive surgery and subsequent enhanced recovery protocols. Leveraging this approach, patients can recover much quicker when compared to traditional methods, as well as dealing with considerably fewer complications, resulting in a client that is ultimately much more satisfied, healthier, and stronger. Key to achieving this is Sabur’s renowned reduced incision sizes, 2.5-3 inches for the hip and 4-6 inches for the knee respectively, which is substantially less than the industry standard of 10-12 inches from traditional replacement surgery in these areas. As one can imagine, a shorter incision brings with it a host of benefits, as not only is the area of scarring much smaller and thus more cosmetically pleasing, but less of an incision also significantly reduces the chances of infection and the complications that can arise from bleeding. This is a method that Sabur has more than perfected over the last decade or so, and in the year 2022-23 alone, he performed exactly 572 joint replacements, specifically, 253 hips, 185 total knees, and 134 partial knees. Sabur explains that this made him, “one of the very few surgeons crossing 500 joint replacements a year in the UK.” He continues, “these numbers are steadily going up, and I expect to cross 700 joints this year.” While such impressive numbers speak for themselves, Sabur is not the sort of person to rest on his laurels, and with every single person that comes in, he makes patient satisfaction his top priority, treating everyone with the uppermost empathy and compassion, addressing them as an individual person as opposed to simply a patient. A big part of this is using nothing short of the best implants for the job, with extra time and care also being taken prior to the operation in collaboration with the nursing and physiotherapy teams to ensure a streamlined and uniform approach to providing the best possible care. This distinction is accurately reflected in the hundreds of great testimonials gracing the review website iwantgreatcare.org. More than just Sabur himself, many of these testimonials make explicit reference to the holistic care that is provided, with Sabur telling us, “these also highlight the importance of working with a competent team that includes a compassionate consultant anaesthetist, pleasant ward staff, knowledgeable theatre staff, a compassionate physio team, as well as enthusiastic clinic staff.” Sabur also mentions the excellent staff at the receptions, in the kitchens and admin offices, the cleaners, and the members of the senior leadership teams of both hospitals, as well as the private patient and GP liaison teams, without whom, the picture would remain incomplete and the ship unable to run as tightly as it does presently. Of course, the medical sphere extends far beyond just the facilities where Sabur works, and as such, he strives to remain updated on all of the advancements being made in the field, which presently include the likes of day surgery replacements, robotic assisted surgery, and increasingly modernised implants that offer up better outcomes for patients. Regardless of these developments, Sabur states that he, “strongly believes that surgical experience is the key to a successful outcome.” He continues, “I strive to keep improving my surgical skills and aim to make these operations as successful as possible.” This commitment is so important in this post-pandemic world, where the NHS is under tremendous pressure thanks to patient backlogs, with the wait times for joint replacements one of the areas that has been hit the hardest. While this number is coming down slowly, Sabur predicts that more people will require such an operation as time goes on, making it incredibly difficult for NHS staff to keep on top of things. As a result of these long waits, the cost of private treatment has risen exponentially over the past few years, exacerbated by demand and an increase in overall expenses. Through Sabur’s aforementioned enhanced recovery protocols and safe, quick discharges however, more people can be treated well. As he looks towards the future, Sabur expects the rest of 2024 and subsequent years to bring increased footfall to his practice, with more people seeking out his pioneering knee and hip replacement solutions. Furthermore, Ramsay Health Care, which is responsible for the management of the hospitals Sabur works at in both Stafford and Birmingham, has increased infrastructure and the capacity of facilities, providing new day surgery units to hold more patients. Sabur expects that over the coming years, they will be made yet bigger still, as the health service secures its footing once more. Sabur notes, “one should bear in mind that this increase in capacity is not just for private patients but also to treat more NHS patients.” Far from the first accolade that Mr. Sabur Malek has received for his outstanding work in the field, we are exceptionally proud to name him as the Hip & Knee Surgeon of the Year 2024 (Midlands), and champion his tremendous approach to hip and knee surgery that offers a reduced recovery time, less chance of complications, and a much less noticeable scar. For everything from total hip Hip & Knee Surgeon of the Year 2024 (Midlands): Sabur Malek
GHP Private Healthcare Awards 2024 replacements to partial knee replacements, the minimally invasive replacement surgery for hips and knees that is provided by Sabur is sure to continue to garner excellent results and satisfied clients for years to come, and we wish Sabur the best of luck as he continues down the path to crossing 700 joints replaced in 12 months later this year.

12 GHP Private Healthcare Awards 2024 The Medical Concierge Centre functions as a central hub for urgent admissions across HCA Healthcare UK hospitals, providing patients with a tailored pathway through HCA UK’s medical network. From initial consultations and urgent GP referrals to second opinions and transfers, the service is well equipped to address a wide range of healthcare needs. For its dedication to enhancing access to private healthcare, we are proud to present the Medical Concierge Centre with this year’s award for Best Healthcare Concierge Service – Greater London. The Medical Concierge Centre prides itself on being the only 24/7 clinician-led service registered with the CQC. Its partnership with HCA UK, a private healthcare provider, has helped establish the centre as a leader in delivering specialised care across a variety of disciplines. The Medical Concierge Centre specialises in navigating complex healthcare pathways, coordinating multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) for cases such as poly-trauma, and effortlessly expediating international Intensive Care Unit transfers. Clients receive just one phone number and email address to simplify access to all the centre’s vital services. With a dedicated team member available round the clock, patients can be assured they’ll always reach a sympathetic voice instead of a voicemail or call forwarding service. Working in collaboration with the NHS through its NHS Transfer Service, the Medical Concierge Centre can organise the transition of patients from NHS facilities to HCA UK hospitals. Over the past year, its NHS Transfer Service has grown in popularity, helping to release NHS beds for those in need. The centre has completed over 600 NHS transfers, providing patients with continuity of care and complete patient satisfaction. Internationally, the centre has also created an extensive network of providers and international insurers to increase access for international patients to specialised services that may not be offered in country. As the company continued to grow, the team quickly identified the lack of availability of private ambulance transfers. In response, the Medical Concierge Centre formed a strategic partnership with SATS, a private ambulance company offering 24/7 ambulance services. This collaboration has allowed the centre to expand its services, streamline operations, and conduct transfers swiftly and efficiently. In order to ensure its team possesses the technical proficiency and qualities to deliver these exceptional services, the centre has adopted a multifaceted approach. Daniel Brice, Head of Operations at the HCA UK Medical Concierge Centre, says, “Firstly, we looked for individuals who possessed the necessary skills and expertise relevant to their duty. However, beyond expertise, we also value qualities such as adaptability, creativity, and a collaborative mindset. Nowadays, in a dynamic work environment, the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and think innovatively is crucial. Likewise, a willingness to collaborate and communicate effectively with team members fosters cooperation and drives collective success. “Cultural fit is another crucial aspect to consider. It’s essential to ensure that new team members line up with the organisation’s values, mission, and culture. This alignment helps maintain harmony within the team and promotes a sense of belonging and shared purpose. Additionally, providing space for growth and development is key to ensure team members are engaged and motivated.” Looking to the future, the Medical Concierge Centre is dedicated to expanding its global partnerships in order to provide access to superior healthcare for those in need. With the opening of HCA Healthcare UK’s newest hospital, The Harborne in Birmingham, the centre is excited to expand its concierge services to the North to improve accessibility outside of London. The company will also strive to forge deeper connections with insurance companies to better serve its patients. Over the coming year, the centre aims to strengthen its relationships with sporting clubs to provide healthcare support to players and staff in urgent situations. It will also look to expand its winter sports injury service, to support patients injured on the slopes who wish to return to the UK for treatment. In addition to these steps, the team is currently developing bespoke packages for its corporate clients to offer C-suite employees unlimited access to its concierge services. These packages will provide clients with access to other HCA UK services including private GP consultations and health-screening services. By expanding its services to corporate clients, the centre aims to ensure that executives also receive high-quality personalised care and support. Supported by a dedicated clinical team, the Medical Concierge Centre has established a streamlined operation – one that is capable of handling a wide array of healthcare needs, and gives patients seamless access to HCA UK’s network, leading them smoothly through their healthcare journey. For this unmatched speed and accessibility, we have bestowed on the Medical Concierge Centre this year’s award for Best Healthcare Concierge Service - Greater London.

14 GHP Private Healthcare Awards 2024 ince it first began welcoming patients into its midst, this consultant-led and CQC registered clinic, Healand Clinic, has been delivering innovative healthcare services that never compromise on securing the desired result. Both transparent and talented, the clinic has amassed a selection of services that remain true to their names, while boasting cutting-edge techniques that haven’t failed to impress. Though its expertise covers a range of procedures, Healand Clinic has found itself being recognised time and time again for its pain management therapies. Comprised of three alternative methods, these therapies specifically target the treatment of pain, all in the hopes of enhancing the overall wellbeing of each individual patient, based on their specific needs. Despite presenting individuals with the choice of steroid or PRP injections, what has truly put Healand Clinic on the map is its ozone treatments. Designed to encourage the reduction of pain, and found to be exceptionally effective in treating autoimmune conditions, these ozone infusions marry natural gasses with technology to create a steadfast – and safe – pain relief solution. This process is indeed fascinating – in intravenous circumstances, blood is drawn via a needle and placed into a glass chamber, within which it’s mixed with ozone gas to create a seamless infusion. Once complete, the blood is injected back into the patient, introducing ozone gas into their blood stream in order to protect the body against harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. As a strong anti-inflammatory and autoimmune condition regulator, ozone treatments are able to tackle chronic pain, while also possessing anti-aging properties. Though it has been around for decades, it has only just found its footing within the UK, and Healand Clinic has gone above and beyond to both understand and master the application of this treatment. As a result, patients gain access to a procedure that boasts a variety of benefits, without any of the unpleasant side effects. Safe, innovative, and capable of alleviating various painful conditions, the ozone treatments exemplify everything Healand Clinic stands for. Where most clinics opt to follow the flow of industry trends and various technological emergences, Healand Clinic has wholly committed itself to discovering what it can do differently. In doing so, it’s cultivated a space in which patients can feel safe and secure, while receiving treatments that are specifically designed to improve their quality of life. Though it may be a relatively young clinic, Healand Clinic has already proven that it’s wise beyond its years, with its fresh approach to helping others distinguishing it as a truly unique entity within its field.

15 GHP Private Healthcare Awards 2024 Over the next 12 months or so, KP GP Services in Kent is ramping up one of its primary community campaigns, this being the importance of one taking control of their own health. Since this team hold dear the belief that an individual must take a proactive approach when it comes to managing their own wellbeing, it is their overarching aim to constantly remind their patients of the important of this, alongside the face-to-face consultations, continuity of care, and trusted doctor-patient relationship that are all imperative to achieving better health. Unfortunately, these latter elements are often lost in the fragmented and impersonal healthcare system of today, but things do not always have to be this way. By emphasising the importance of keeping patients informed and encouraging them to take preventative steps when it comes to managing the risk of illness, whether this be changing their lifestyle, attending regular check-ups, or making the most of the array of resources and support available, KP GP Services is taking an equally proactive approach to fostering what Dhvani refers to as a “culture of health empowerment, where individuals feel confident and capable in managing their own health.” She continues, “we believe that this will not only improve individual wellbeing but also contribute to the overall health of the community”, a cause that GPs everywhere would certainly get behind. Beyond this, driving KP GP Services is a motivation to provide outstanding services in its area, as while the idea of a private GP is nothing new, this team are proud to be the first to offer this in their local area. Entering this new market was challenging, and as Dhvani tells us, “despite our excitement and determination to bring high-quality medical care to the community, we initially faced a significant amount of negative commentary.” This was based around the falsehood that the presence of a private GP was some sort of anti-NHS statement, which could not be further from the truth, with Dhvani speaking of a “desire to address the significant gap in the quality of care between the private sector and the NHS.” As time passed, people soon began to realise the error of their ways, and these previous misconceptions thankfully exist no more, with Dhvani and Kunal now celebrated in local circles for their unfaltering dedication to the mission of empowering, educating, and helping people to take charge of their own health and wellness. Complementing not only the NHS but other healthcare providers across the region, harmony is strived for so as to provide the best outcome for all patients. For Dhvani, “through perseverance and a steadfast commitment to our values”, “we are proud to continue serving the people of Canterbury with the same dedication and care that has become synonymous with our brand.” KP GP Services in Canterbury, Kent is a family-run private GP that offers all of the traditional services that one would expect, but with a much-needed personal touch that really sets it apart. Established by Dr. Kunal Patel and his wife, Dhvani Patel, the focus of this team ultimately revolves around providing healthcare of the highest quality, which is also affordable and delivered swiftly. Boasting a 4.95/5 rating from more than 100 reviews on medical review site Doctify, this award-winning GP was described by one patient as, “everything one could one hope for.” We catch up with Dhvani to find out more. Most Dedicated Private GP Practice 2024 - Kent In addition to the year-long commitment to raising awareness of one managing their own health, as discussed above, the future for KP GP Services is to be defined by the introduction of health checks for patients of all ages. Expanding further on this, Dhvani states, “regular health checks help establish your baseline, enabling you to track changes over time. This is key to optimising your performance and catching any potential issues early on.” Expertly summarising why everybody should pursue these, Dhvani continues, “the peace of mind that comes with regular health checks is invaluable, knowing that you are taking proactive steps to maintain your health.” Although private healthcare incurs a fee that is simply not payable for some people, this team remain committed to offering an affordable service that is more accessible to the wider population, all the while refusing to compromise on communication, flexibility, and a swift service delivery. The result is the most practical and effective approach to private healthcare in the region, one that has more than earned KP GP Services the title of Most Dedicated Private GP Practice 2024 – Kent.
