Our view of the service
Spire Portsmouth Hospital is an established, purpose-built private healthcare facility located in Bartons Road, Havant—approximately 10 miles from Portsmouth, UK. It provides a range of planned medical and surgical treatments for insured, self-pay, and NHS patients. The operational activity is split at privately funded 83% and 17% NHS.
The service is a dedicated elective care hospital. Because it handles no accident and emergency (A&E) cases, patient attendances are categorised into planned outpatient appointments, day-case surgeries, and overnight inpatient admissions. The main activity at this location was surgical procedures.
The on-site facilities include an endoscopy suite, three operating theatres (two with laminar airflow) an outpatient department and diagnostic imaging department offering plain X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, MRI and CT scans. The hospital operates 50 beds across 2 wards. Physiotherapy treatment is offered as an inpatient and outpatient service in its own physiotherapy suite of gym and treatment areas. There is an accredited sterile services department and pathology laboratory on site. In the time period April 2025-May 2026 the service was attended by 22,500 patients.
We undertook an assessment of this service on the 12 & 13 May 2026. At this inspection, we looked at Surgery, Diagnostic Imaging, and Outpatient assessment service groups. We undertook this inspection due to an aged rating and in line with our inspection priorities.
We rated this service as Good.
We saw that previous regulatory breaches have been resolved in full. The joint surgical preparation area was no longer in use, and this reduced any risk of cross infection. All theatres and areas used for surgical preparation now had Ultra Clean Ventilation (UCV) systems in place.
