Welbeck Health Partners is investing £30 million into its newest centre, which will cater to 12 specialities including heart, lung, skin, and digestive health, as well as ear, nose, and throat issues and neurology.
A team of medical professionals will focus on illness prevention and the early detection of health issues.
State-of-the-art technology will see all treatments and procedures completed on the same day, meaning no patients are required to stay overnight.

Fifteen management positions, including an operations director, theatre manager, pharmacy manager, and imaging manager, will be appointed in the autumn.
A further 60 clinical vacancies will be advertised before the end of the year.
Non-clinical roles will be made available in spring next year, ahead of the centre’s launch.
Welbeck has partnered with healthcare recruitment agency Compass Associates to appoint specialists for each role.
Rachel Boxall, centre director at Welbeck Oxford, said: “This centre will revolutionise the quality of private healthcare in the UK outside of London.
“It’s critical we collaborate with the region’s leading clinicians and skilled healthcare operators so they can shape our treatment pathways and provide the best patient care experiences.
“Once open, the centre will prioritise efficiency and quality from the point of a patient booking an appointment to being discharged from their clinician’s care.

“It’s exciting to begin our recruitment process ahead of next year’s launch and we’re pleased to partner with Compass Associates to lead the process.”
Founded in 2010, Compass Associates specialises in permanent recruitment across private healthcare, occupational health, home care, children’s services, and veterinary sectors.
It works with 55 recruitment consultants across the UK, with office space in Portsmouth, Manchester, and London.
The partnership with Welbeck’s new Oxford centre acts as an extension to its work with Welbeck’s flagship London location, which opened in 2019 and caters to more than 100,000 patients each year.
Stuart Cousins, director of Compass Associates, said: “We’re really pleased to extend our partnership with Welbeck Health Partners ahead of the launch of its new Oxford centre.
“Our team has a proven track record in placing talented and skilled professionals in roles where they are able to operate to their true potential and share their expertise to help provide an unrivalled patient experience.
“Typically, we place 1,000 people in new roles each year across the UK’s health sector.
“Welbeck’s plans for its new Oxford centre have the potential to revolutionise private healthcare provisions locally, and we’re excited to be part of its new chapter.”
