Hillsborough Private Clinic

What Hillsborough Private Clinic does

Hillsborough Private Clinic operates as a single-site private diagnostic imaging and specialist medical clinic located at 2 Main Street, Hillsborough, County Down, Northern Ireland, serving as one of six centres in the Affidea UK network (Hillsborough, Belfast, Omagh, St. Asaph, Orthoderm and Malone Road). The clinic delivers three core service lines: (1) diagnostic imaging including MRI, CT, X-ray and ultrasound, with scan results reported within a 48-hour turnaround; (2) specialist treatments and surgery across cardiology, dermatology, orthopaedics, gynaecology, urology, ENT, ophthalmology, paediatrics and other disciplines; and (3) rehabilitation, therapy and ongoing care including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dietetics, podiatry and respiratory medicine. The underlying technical platform is modern diagnostic imaging hardware coupled with a Dose Excellence program that has received EuroSafe Imaging Wall of Stars recognition from the European Radiology Society for radiation dose optimisation and patient safety.

Operationally, the clinic functions as a wholly-owned subsidiary within Affidea, a European private healthcare network, and serves individual patients (self-referral or GP/specialist referral), the general public in Northern Ireland seeking faster access than the NHS provides, and athletes and sports professionals via the Ulster Rugby partnership and an integrated Fortius sports medicine service line. Its go-to-market is hybrid direct-to-consumer (online booking request form, phone, email) combined with traditional GP/specialist referrals; pricing is per procedure and not publicly itemised. The entity-level headcount is 11-50, while the broader Affidea UK network draws on 60+ consultants and specialists and serves "1000s of patients" annually. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, or external investors in the source material.
