The contract to run the Bupa Clinic for Northern Ireland has been acquired by Kingsbridge Private Hospital, Belfast, which is part of the 3fivetwo Group.

The health clinic has relocated from it’s former base on Great Victoria Street to the hospital at Kingsbridge on the Lisburn Road, offering local customers a wide range of health services from a GP appointment through to health assessments all within a new facility.

Five staff have been transferred to the new centre, joining eight new GPs and three new health advisers and it’s expected that the associated increase in capacity following relocation to the 5-star hospital could see turnover double in the next 18 months.

Alan Cole, Head of Partnership Centres, Bupa Health Clinics, comments: “We’re really excited to have moved to this larger, world class location, and are looking forward to welcoming both existing and new clients through its doors.”

The Bupa Clinic is situated in a self-contained area of Kingsbridge Private Hospital, which offers free onsite car parking. Customers can enjoy the dedicated Bupa Diamond Lounge – a private waiting room with free wifi, daily newspapers, fresh fruit, home-made scones, shortbread and a range of refreshments while they wait for their appointment.

Mark Regan, CEO at Kingsbridge said: “Having been a Bupa partner facility for the last 7 years, we are delighted to be offering these additional services and welcome the fact that the Bupa Belfast clinic is now based at Kingsbridge.

“Access to Bupa health screening at Kingsbridge ensures that employees and individuals can take stock of their own health.   They can also get advice on improvements and if required, guidance onto a seamless medical pathway should they need onward referral to a specialist Consultant, further diagnostic tests such as CT, X-ray or MRI and of course access to surgical services, all within the facility.”
