Liverpool Hospitals - Lourdes Free Hospital

 


Lourdes Hospital was the first private hospital in the city when it was set up by nuns from the order The Poor Servants of the Mother of God in 1929 in Paul Street, Liverpool on the former site of  Paul Street Baths and Wash House. They are a Roman Catholic religious congregation founded in 1869 by Mary Magdalen of the Sacred Heart, Frances Margaret Taylor who had served as a nurse in the Crimea. She was closely assisted by her friend and benefactor Lady Georgiana Fullerton, and following her death, by her husband, A G Fullerton. The facility moved to Greenbank Road in Mossley Hill in 1943 after the old building was bombed, and celebrated its 65th anniversary on the site.  

Jimmy Case, a Liverpool FC legend, helped celebrate their 65th birthday by unveiling new signs after the hospital was renamed Spire Liverpool Hospital. It was in 2007 that Spire Healthcare was formed through the acquisition of Bupa Hospitals, and the hospital was rebranded as Spire Liverpool Hospital and is now a private hospital run by Classic Hospitals Limited, a part of Spire Healthcare Group Plc. It provides care for private patients (self-funding and insured) and NHS patients referred under the Standard NHS Acute Contract.

Spire Liverpool Hospital, operated by Spire Healthcare Limited, was registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) by Spire Healthcare Limited in July 2016 and is a private hospital in Liverpool. The hospital also has contracts with Liverpool and Merseyside clinical commissioning groups (CCG) to provide treatment for NHS patients and primarily serves the communities of Liverpool and its surrounding areas. It also accepts patient referrals from outside this area. The hospital has two wards with a total of 30 single rooms, a six bedded day-case unit, four operating theatres (one of which is a mobile theatre and two are laminar flow theatres mainly used for orthopaedic surgery). The physiotherapy, pharmacy and sterile services are available on site. The inpatient treatment includes urology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, minor hand surgery, minor neurosurgery, ear, nose and throat (ENT), gynaecology, endoscopies, general surgery (such as upper and lower gastrointestinal surgery) and cosmetic surgery.

The hospital is registered to provide services for the whole population and sees and treats mainly patients aged 18 years old and over. The hospital provided seven surgical procedures to patients 16 to 17 years old from August 2021 to July 2022.
