Kingsbridge Healthcare Group

Kingsbridge Healthcare Group is the largest private medical provider in Northern Ireland. It was formerly called 3fivetwo Medical Group. It was founded in 2004 by Suresh Tharma, an NHS consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist.
It owns Kingsbridge Private Hospital in Belfast, St. Joseph's Hospital, Sligo, the Cosmetech cosmetic surgery business and the l Private GP service at their Maypole Clinic in Holywood. It took over a clinic for Bupa in 2018 which provides health screening, private GP services and muscle and joint assessment.
In November 2019 it opened a new £1 million six-bed ward at Kingsbridge Private Hospital and plans to increase patient capacity by 30% and take on 30 new staff. This expansion is driven by increasing waiting times for surgery in the Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland and is financed by a £5 million investment by the Foresight Group, which is represented on the board of directors.
The company's income dropped by 35% between 2014 and 2018 but improved after an improved focus on private patient income.
