At Practice Plus Group Hospitals, we’re passionate about giving patients a positive experience and excellent clinical outcomes, with personalised hospital treatment every step of the way.
Whether you’re paying for yourself, using private medical insurance or accessing hospital care as an NHS patient, with our short waiting times, unrivalled Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings and high levels of cleanliness and infection control, we’ll make sure you’re looked after. In fact, we were the first provider to have all services rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC.
By focusing on a select range of specialties, such as knee and hip replacements and cataract surgery, we concentrate our efforts on being the best provider of the procedures we offer. Our hospitals are centres of excellence, with our consultants regularly performing extremely high volumes of the surgery they specialise in and achieving outstanding results.
As a group of specialist hospitals, we only provide scheduled surgery, which means patients can feel confident that their procedure will happen as planned, without sudden cancellation because of competing priorities. Our sites are taking every measure to remain clean and safe since the COVID-19 pandemic so patients can still have the utmost confidence in coming to see us for treatment.
We are one of the UK’s largest healthcare providers, with a longstanding reputation for exceptional quality, fast treatment times and excellent patient outcomes.
Hip replacement patient, St Mary’s Portsmouth – very efficient service, I would recommend
I was seen by a Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon at St Mary’s Hospital in Portsmouth within two weeks of applying. I didn’t have to wait long in the Outpatient’s department before being called in. An X-ray was ordered and taken and I was seen again by the Consultant who confirmed that I needed a hip replacement. The pros and cons of the procedure were explained, and I was told that I would hear from the secretary shortly afterwards to arrange a date for the surgery. The young radiologist was exceptionally kind. Due to an upcoming holiday, I’ve been able to choose when I would like to have the operation. So far I’ve found the Wellsoon part of this Group to be very efficient and I would recommend.

Hip replacement patient, Plymouth – I could not have been treated any better
I would like to thank everyone who looked after me with my hip replacement on 6/6/26 from Mr Miller who referred me, Mr Hosny the surgeon, all the nurses and other medical staff, the radiographer, the physiotherapist, domestics, receptionists, and anyone else I may have missed. From my first appointment to discharge, I could not have been treated any better. Having my surgery has given me my life back. Before, I couldn’t do much and certainly couldn’t go out and about. Now, I will be able to return to shopping, the clubs I belong to, and my football home matches, and most of all my coach trips to my football club’s away matches, which I really enjoy . Thank you all again from my heart.

Hip and knee replacement, Southampton – Changed my life twice over!
I had full hip replacement in 2024 and a full knee replacement a year later in 2025. Both were carried out by Dr Alistair Scott Parker and I cannot give enough praise to Dr Parker & the entire Team at Practice Plus Group, Southampton. Excellent care during and post op. Warm and caring Anaesthetists Geoff & Steve. I will always be so grateful to Dr Parker for changing my life twice over. Follow the expert’s advice and you will make a full recovery. Rehab is key & listen to your body.

General surgery, Shepton Mallet – First class experience all round!
Absolutely first class experience for me. I think the best way to write this review is to simply put in here exactly what I wrote on the card which I took in to the Shepton Mallet hospital on my final post-op visit (along with boxes of treats for their staff rest room) – this was as follows:-
“I want to say thank you to all the staff that I met in my recent stay in the hospital. Every single one of you was professional and efficient combined with pleasantness and humour. My operation has been a complete success and I am truly grateful for all your efforts. My sincerest thanks to you once again.”
I cannot praise the hospital highly enough as the staff and systems were simply superb – my thanks yet again to all there.

Knee replacement, Birmingham – The care was professional and reassuring
My mother recently underwent her second total knee replacement surgery at Practice Plus Group, both performed by Mr Dehne.
The care she received was professional and reassuring. Mr Dehne’s obvious expertise and clear communication put her at ease and the nursing staff, doctors and physios were all so kind and always willing to help.
She was a little unwell after the operation and had to stay an extra night. A special thank you to the night shift nurses Jill and Allison. Her progress was closely monitored and pain managed as well as possible. Nothing was too much trouble. We’re extremely grateful for the care received.
The experience with PPG and Mr Dehne has been very positive – from the warm welcome on reception (Jackie is fabulous) though to being wheeled out to the car to go home (thank you Jordan), we are grateful for the care and compassion shown throughout both surgeries and look forward to a much better quality of life that two new knees will bring.
