Significant events
- “2024 saw continued growth in private patient demand in the UK, both insured as well as self-pay patients. This was also reflected in the international patients' market, with HCA UK benefiting from a strong expansion in the number of countries which it received patients for inpatient complex admissions.”
- “In January 2024, HCA UK opened The Harborne Hospital. In partnership with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and located in the centre of the extensive medical campus, this new hospital has the capability to provide the full range of acute care.”
- “In 2024, the programme included investment in the enhancement of our hospital campuses, continued refresh of key equipment and continued development of our estate. To support the enhancement of our technical infrastructure the project to implement a new electronic health record platform across HCA UK in 2025 continued.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
