View the full CQC report & inspection history →

Contains public sector information from the Care Quality Commission, licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Spire Leicester Hospitalis an independent (private-sector) hospital, regulated by the Care Quality Commission. It is shown on its own, separately from NHS hospitals — the CQC rates independent and NHS providers on the same five inspection questions, but this hospital's private-pay activity and outcomes are not published anywhere, so the two sectors are never ranked together. A minority of independent hospitals, including some run by this provider, also carry out NHS-funded work — where NHS England publishes that separately under the hospital's own NHS provider code, we show it further down this page, clearly marked as NHS-funded activity only. See methodology.

NHS-funded activity only — the outcomes below cover only this hospital's NHS-funded hip & knee replacements, not its private-pay caseload.

Hip & knee replacement — patient outcomes (PROMs)

Financial year 2024-25(finalised) · patients having a primary hip or knee replacement voluntarily score their health before and after surgery. The average gain shown is adjusted for differences between patients (case-mix) — it is not a raw before/after difference and not a ranking, so read it alongside the patient numbers.

About this data

The rating on this page comes from the Care Quality Commission's directory and Syndication API — the same source used for NHS hospital pages on this site. We do not hold this hospital's private-pay volumes, fees, waiting times, PROMs or safety data (that data is licensed separately by the Private Healthcare Information Network and is not available under an open licence). NHS England separately publishes this hospital's own NHS-funded RTT waiting-time and PROMs activity, matched via its NHS provider code — shown above, clearly marked as NHS-funded activity only.
