About Our Client
The hospital offers private and NHS services to the Cornwall population, with some services extending to Devon and beyond. It collaborates closely with local NHS providers and the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board, playing a crucial role in delivering elective cardiology services.
