Opening date revealed for £13m healthcare clinic in Harrogate
A new Harrogate healthcare clinic will open its doors in just a few weeks’ time.
Spire Healthcare, which offers private and NHS treatments, started work on the £13 million Hornbeam Park clinic in June.
The Gardner House site will offer outpatient and day case treatments. The clinic specialties include ophthalmology, dermatology, gynaecology, orthopaedics, X-ray and ultrasound, and also provides a private GP service.
There are four outpatient consulting rooms, including one treatment room, a phlebotomy suite, an ophthalmology suite, one day case theatre and X-ray and ultrasound facilities.
But the website adds the clinic will not offer general anaesthetic procedures:
Spire Harrogate Clinic provides outpatient consultations and day case, local anaesthetic procedures only.
If your consultant recommends a general anaesthetic procedure, or a procedure which is not carried out at the clinic, they will discuss with you where that procedure will take place.

The healthcare firm previously said the new clinic would create 30 jobs for local people, including roles for GPs, nurses, radiographers, healthcare assistants, housekeeping and admin.
It hopes the Harrogate clinic will deliver up to 1,500 procedures each year.

The site will open on December 16.
The opening will add to Spire Healthcare’s 39 existing hospital sites across England, Wales and Scotland.
It currently boasts eight clinics, but the Harrogate site is one of 10 new facilities being built across Britain.
