  • Caitlin Downs – Customer Service Lead: Bringing over a decade of customer service experience, Caitlin will head up the prospective patient outreach team, ensuring incoming inquiries are handled with care and efficiency.

  • Adele Bates  – Customer Care Specialist: Working alongside Caitlin, Adele brings over five years of healthcare sector, patient enquiry and consultation booking expertise.

As we look to scale further, increase local employment, and expand into new specialties such as orthopedic surgery, having a world-class support structure is vital.

“To achieve our goals, we needed to strengthen our communications, patient experience, and business development functions. We are thrilled to welcome Ava, Caitlin, Adele, and Rishi to the team as we enter this exciting next phase of growth across both our Manchester and London hospitals.”
