Boulcott Hospital

What Boulcott Hospital does

Boulcott Hospital is a private surgical hospital founded in 1984 and headquartered at 666 High Street, Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand, operating as Lower Hutt's only private hospital adjacent to the public Hutt Hospital. It provides inpatient and day-stay surgical care across 15 specialties — including orthopaedics, general surgery, gynaecology, urology, ophthalmology, ENT, vascular, plastic and reconstructive surgery, gastroenterology, cardiology, rheumatology, maxillofacial/oral surgery, breast surgery, and weight loss surgery — supported by an on-site Specialist Centre for outpatient consultations.

Operationally, the hospital runs five state-of-the-art operating theatres (up from a single theatre in 1984) and 115 healthcare and support staff. Theatres 4 and 5 were added in 2025 alongside an expanded post-anaesthetic unit as part of a ~$25 million redevelopment financed primarily by Vital Healthcare Property Trust. The hospital also deployed the Stryker Mako SmartRobotics system for robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement, using 3D CT-based planning and a guided robotic arm for personalised implant placement. Care delivery is supported by Healthlink EDI integration for GP referrals and discharges, and Boulcott is an RNZCGP-endorsed Continuing Medical Education provider for GPs through January 2027.

Revenue is generated through procedure-based fees paid by private health insurers (including under Southern Cross affiliated-provider contracts), ACC claims, and self-pay patients, with incremental public-sector volumes from Wellington-region elective surgery backlog outsourcing. Boulcott is owned by surgeon-shareholders in partnership with Rangatira Investment, with the underlying property held by Vital Healthcare Property Trust. The board is chaired by Sue Suckling with director representation from Rangatira (Mark Dossor, Kurt Purdon) and the surgeon shareholders (Dr Kevin O'Connor, Dr Meera Sood).
