A compelling story...

Spire Healthcare was founded from the acquisition and rebranding of 25 Bupa hospitals in 2007. Substantial capital investment in the organisational infrastructure has led to our current standing as a very successful, FTSE 250 business. Spire is the largest independent healthcare provider in terms of revenue, operating from 38 hospitals and more than 50 clinics, medical centres and consulting rooms across England, Wales and Scotland. We work closely with more than 8,650 distinguished consultants that in 2023, provided outstanding personalised care to more than one million patients.

Spire Wellesley, rated Good by the CQC, provides an extensive range of acute and diagnostic services, attracting increasing patient numbers from across the South East of England. The Hospital enjoys the benefits of being established more than 40 years within its local community and sustained site investment is creating opportunities for further growth. Southend is only 20 miles from the M25 and Spire Wellesley Hospital is a couple of miles from the town centre, just off the A127. We are a short taxi ride from the train station, which has a fast and regular connection to London Liverpool Street.
