Fortius Clinic was founded in 2009 and specialises in orthopaedics and musculoskeletal (MSK) medicine.
Fortius operates three outpatient sites across Central London, the Fortius Surgical Centre and a Joint Replacement Centre in partnership with Bupa Cromwell.
Fortius outpatient clinics provide outpatient consultations, diagnostic scans and interventional radiology services. Patients are treated by sub-specialists who cover all orthopaedics including hip, knee, groin, shoulder, foot, ankle, spine, hand and wrist, podiatry and pain conditions.
Fortius was inspected in October 2019, with inspectors praising the open culture, a consistent approach to continuous improvement in all areas and a clear vision to deliver high quality care for patients. They noted that staff went above and beyond for their patients, working especially hard to meet holistic needs and make the patient experience pleasant as possible.
Inspectors noted the warmth and compassion with which consultants treated all patients. Systems and processes were in place to ensure that patients were treated with compassion, dignity and respect and they were involved in decisions about their care and treatment.
Head of Inspection for Primary Medical Services in London, Antony Hall, said: ‘Fortius Clinic boasts strong dedicated leadership and a staff that is prepared to go the extra mile for their patients. I can only congratulate all involved in helping to get an outstanding CQC rating.’
Key findings of outstanding practice included:
Fortius Chief Operating Officer, Nicola Aspinall says,
‘We are delighted to have been recognised as outstanding. We have consistently focused on quality and service delivery across the whole organisation to promote a culture of safety and continuous improvement, and this is, therefore a very proud moment.
We receive compliments on a daily basis from the patients we care for, patient satisfaction surveys and feedback, however when recognition comes from a regulator following inspection and scrutiny, it is very significant.’
