About The Alexandra Hospital
The Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle is one of Circle Health Group's largest hospitals and a major private healthcare provider for Greater Manchester and Cheshire. It offers an unusually broad range of treatment for a regional private hospital, including cardiology and cardiac surgery, orthopaedics, cancer care, general surgery, gynaecology and urology, supported by extensive imaging and diagnostic services.
Patients are cared for in private en-suite rooms with consultant-led treatment and dedicated nursing teams, and physiotherapy is available on site to support recovery. The hospital sees outpatients, day cases and inpatients, working with patients who hold private medical insurance as well as those choosing to pay for their own treatment.
