A planning application has been submitted to Liverpool City Council for a new state-of-the-art private hospital at Princes Dock.

‘The City Hospital’ is a collaboration between well-established Liverpool medical practices, including senior consultant plastic & reconstructive surgeon Mr Ali Juma (The Clinic @51 in Rodney Street), and Dr Arun Ghosh (Ghosh Medical Group), owner of a primary care facility on Rodney Street.

The proposed new hospital will be based at Princes Dock, part of Peel L&P’s Liverpool Waters development, and will offer a diversity of treatments and procedures. These will include plastic & reconstructive surgery, general surgery, gastroenterology, ear nose and throat surgery (ENT), dermatology, and GP services.

The operating theatres in The City Hospital will be equipped with the latest in digital technology including multi-screen displays and 4k cameras, enabling live interactive surgical collaborations and training opportunities both nationally and internationally.

A state-of-the-art training academy will also be incorporated within The City Hospital providing training in surgical and non-surgical treatments and procedures.

The City Hospital plans to recruit and train nurses from around the world enabling them to thrive within the local healthcare market, thus providing a much-needed boost to nursing numbers in the UK.

Mr Ali Juma, a co-proprietor and lead surgeon at The City Hospital, says: “The City Hospital Princes Dock is planned with the sole purpose of providing high-end multi-speciality safe medical and surgical facilities to the local community of Liverpool and the North West.

“The Training Academy at The City Hospital is a lifelong ambition of disseminating and sharing knowledge whilst learning from others’ experiences”.

Dr Arun Ghosh, chief executive of Ghosh Medical Group, adds: “Our proposed new hospital at Liverpool Waters is a very exciting opportunity for the people of Liverpool, we can offer an alternative; enhancing Liverpool’s capacity in terms of beds, nurses and doctors.

“Our location at Princes Dock will provide a secure, clean, and safe environment for our patients, with the waterside setting creating a calming environment for patients pre and post-treatment. Access from the car park into the building will also be very easy for patients and staff with a surface car park just outside the main entrance.

“Through this multi-million-pound investment in new state of the art medical facilities, we have ambitions to attract the best talent from around the world to Liverpool. This means that The City Hospital will be good news for patients and for the wider community across Liverpool and the North West.

“Once approved, we will begin our fit-out immediately and hope to have The City Hospital fully open by early Summer 2023.”
