successful planning application for first surgical hub
proposed opening in late summer 2026
one health group plc (aim: ohgr), an independent provider of nhs-funded
medical procedures, for patients referred through 'patient choice' for
treatment in orthopaedics, spine, general surgery, gynaecology and urology,
announces that the planning application for its first surgical hub in
s****horpe, lincolnshire, has been granted.
construction work will commence in due course with a proposed opening in late
summer 2026. the surgical hub is expected to deliver significant additional
surgical operating capacity in regions with limited provision of nhs services.
the surgical hub model is characteristic of delivering efficient, high-volume
surgeries and is designed to maximise both patient outcomes and financial
returns.

adam binns, chief executive officer, commented:
"our ambition to develop a network of surgical hubs is key to our longer-term
accelerated growth strategy, supporting rising nhs demand and offering
surgical capacity growth in under resourced areas across the north of england
and the midlands. we're delighted to confirm that our first site will be in
s****horpe, and that our first surgical hub there will bring both localised
specialist surgical services and employment to a much-deprived area.
"as reiterated in recent days, key to the government's 10-year health plan is
delivering more care in the community away from nhs hospitals, this approach
has been a cornerstone of one health's provision of care to nhs patients for
over 20 years through our community-based outreach clinic network and will be
complemented and enhanced with the addition of surgical hubs.
"the nhs is increasingly looking to independent providers for additional
support, and we are confident that the additional capacity provided by our
first surgical hub, will complement the ongoing organic growth driven by our
existing community-based outreach clinics and third party surgical operating
locations."
