patient facility situated within the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre
located at Basildon University Hospital. This private unit is a

The Orwell Private Cardiothoracic Unit is staffed with
dedicated Ramsay Health Care staff and offers a high level of hotel
services above the standard NHS provision.
This private unit also has access to specialist
services within the main hospital and outpatient consulting
facilities.
All private patients have full access to the specialist
theatres, cardiothoracic intensive care units and diagnostic
facilities on site. This allows ‘The Best of Both
Worlds’ experience of private
healthcare in an NHS facility providing the comfort of private
care with the clinical backup of a large acute hospital.
We aim to offer all the tests and
outpatient appointments you require at a single location in as few
appointments as possible.
Nursing records will be kept in hard
copy and electronically
and this can be made accessible for
you where ever you may choose in the future.
