Mulberry Private Healthcare - the best of both worlds

Renowned for its excellent, friendly service, the newly refurbished and modernised Mulberry Private Healthcare is based at Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon.

In September 2008 we opened an exclusive new, business-style modern Check-In Reception Lounge, which is centrally situated within the hospital, comprising of a meet and greet reception area for private patients, a consulting room and an office.

In addition to this we offer bright, spacious and comfortable private en-suite bedrooms on two specialist wards - the newly refurbished Birch Ward (orthopaedic patients) and Juniper Ward (surgical patients).

Short-stay patients will benefit from being accommodated in private en-suite facilities in the modern, award-winning Treatment Centre which houses:

  • High specification endoscopy suite
  • State-of-the-art laparoscopic theatres
  • Ultra-clean theatres for orthopaedic work
  • A purpose-equipped ophthalmology theatre

Meals

Meals are served in your room and there is an enhanced, wide and varied menu available for your selection. Special dietary requirements can be catered for and we can arrange for you to discuss these with our chef if you wish. By prior arrangement you are welcome to invite a visitor to accompany you for a meal if you choose - we have a very reasonably priced menu for them to select a dish from.

 

Visiting times

You may welcome your guests whenever you wish but if you feel unable to accept visitors we will ensure that you are not troubled. We may request that you are given privacy when you require certain treatments and we do ask that your meal times are not interrupted, unless prior arrangements have been made for you to dine together. In addition, in the interests of all patients, if your visitors are proving disruptive towards other patients or staff we will ask them to leave the ward.

 

Smoking

Hinchingbrooke Hospital is a smoke free area. Some patients who normally smoke have found the use of nicotine patches helpful during their stay.
