Newry Private Clinic Celebrates First Independent Private Hospital Accreditation

Congratulations to our member, Newry Private Clinic on their Independent Private Hospital Accreditation by RQIA making it the first independent hospital in Newry City.

The Regulation & Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA) is an independent body responsible for monitoring and inspecting availability and quality of all registered health facilities, including hospitals, nursing and residential homes and domiciliary care facilities.

Newry Private Clinic located on Windsor Hill in Newry now joins a very small number of private independent hospitals across Northern Ireland.

This accreditation puts NPC in the privileged position of being able to offer procedures and minor surgeries in their clinically certified premises.

It can now potentially provide assistance to the NHS in addressing waiting lists, support health insurance companies to deliver local private health care and provide services to more cross-border patients.

Newry Private Clinic was a by acquired in 2021 by the husband-and-wife team, ENT Consultant, David McCaul and Clinic Director, Laura McCaul. The local couple completed a rebrand, refurbishment and circa £2 million investment in the existing facilities.

The Clinic has established itself as a leading provider for consultant-led care both in Northern Ireland and for cross-border patients.

Laura McCaul, Clinic Director of Newry Private Clinic said:

“We are absolutely delighted to receive this accreditation from RQIA. It was a rigorous process which is reflected in the small number of approvals for medical facilities in Northern Ireland. NPC prides itself on delivering specialist Consultant led medical care across a range of more than 50 specialisms.”

“This accreditation will, we believe, allow us to support the NHS and health insurers, as well as private patients and those patients we see through the Cross-Border Directive.”

“This accreditation has been a real team effort, and we are thrilled for our entire team. We have further growth ambitions in the very near future and we are constantly listening to patients to ensure we offer holistic Consultant led care services.”

“This RQIA accreditation helps to verify that we are operating to the highest standards of care and service and it is something we are very proud of.”

Congratulations to David and Laura and their amazing team on this exciting milestone and we wish you every continued success.
