Holywood Private Clinic

What Holywood Private Clinic does

Holywood Private Clinic is an independent private healthcare provider founded in 2021, operating primarily from a clinic located within the Culloden Estate and Spa in Holywood, Northern Ireland, with a satellite clinic for aesthetics enquiries. The clinic serves individual self-paying patients seeking faster or more convenient access than the NHS provides, as well as patients referred by NHS and private GPs for specialist services. The team comprises NHS consultants and GPs with extended specialist skills, including psychiatry, chronic pain, paediatrics/neonatology, old age psychiatry, headache medicine, menopause, sports medicine, and general surgery. The clinic also embeds three named partner services on-site: Heart Health Hub (cardiac diagnostics and rehabilitation), Linenhall Hearing/Optomise (audiology), and Insula Wellbeing (mental health therapy).

The clinic's service portfolio spans 16+ active lines, organised across four functional categories: core primary care (same-day private GP appointments via telephone, video, face-to-face, and home visits, with health assessments, blood tests, ECGs, private prescriptions, and fast-track specialist referrals); specialist clinical consultations (chronic pain management, menopause, headache, dementia, psychiatry, women's health, and paediatrics); procedures (ultrasound-guided joint injections, minimally invasive no-scalpel vasectomy, minor surgery including mole/cyst/skin tag removal, and contraceptive implant insertion/removal); and diagnostics and wellness (echocardiograms, ECG and ambulatory ECG monitoring, hearing assessments, and tiered Bronze-to-Platinum health screening packages from £275 to £575). Patient-facing technology is limited to a Semble-powered online booking system, a WordPress website, and Facebook/Instagram channels; there is no proprietary software, app, or API.

The business model is purely fee-for-service, pay-as-you-go private healthcare with no subscription, retainer, or insurer-bundled components. Prices range from £40 (hearing assessment) to £620 (vasectomy), with most consultations priced between £90 and £400. The clinic generates revenue through one-time charges for consultations, procedures, and diagnostic tests. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via online and telephone booking, supplemented by NHS GP referral letters for specialist services requiring them. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no enterprise customers, and no revenue figures; the business is independently operated and clinician-led, with practitioners who predominantly retain parallel NHS roles.
