ELECTIVA CELEBRATES A LANDMARK FIRST YEAR WITH MAJOR SENIOR APPOINTMENTS AND AMBITIOUS EXPANSION PLANS

UK’s fastest-growing healthcare group announces strategic hires as it accelerates national growth

Electiva Healthcare Group, the UK’s fastest-growing force in tech-enabled self-pay healthcare, is marking an extraordinary first year of trading with a series of high-profile senior appointments and a sharp focus on further acquisition. In just twelve months, Electiva has rapidly expanded its family of hospitals and specialist brands, already delivering more self-pay procedures by volume than any other provider in the UK.
Driven by a commitment to clinical consistency, intelligent reporting and data-led decision-making, Electiva’s purpose-built model is setting a new benchmark for modern elective care — empowering patients with faster pathways, improved outcomes and seamless, technology-enhanced experiences.
TRANSFORM: A REMARKABLE YEAR OF GROWTH FOR THE UK’S LEADING COSMETIC & WEIGHT LOSS PROVIDER
Within the Electiva group, Transform — the UK’s leading provider of cosmetic and weight loss surgery — has delivered exceptional growth, achieving an impressive 70% increase in activity over the past year.
Transform now holds the largest market share for mummy makeovers nationally, strengthening its position as the most trusted provider of cosmetic and weight loss procedures in the UK. Its continued success reflects a powerful combination of clinical excellence, digitally enhanced patient pathways and unwavering dedication to safe, compassionate care at scale.
Transform has also strengthened its clinical portfolio this year with the successful launch of two major service lines: Orthopaedics and Femme — Transform’s dedicated gynæcology service.
ELECTIVA EXPANDS IN SCOTLAND WITH THE ACQUISITION OF LA BELLE FORME
A major milestone in Electiva’s first year has been the strategic acquisition of La Belle Forme, one of Scotland’s most prestigious and well-established cosmetic and aesthetic medicine providers.
Based in Glasgow and renowned for its award-winning surgeons, specialist treatments and exceptional patient experience, La Belle Forme has long been considered a leader in Scotland’s cosmetic landscape. Its integration into the Electiva group has strengthened Electiva’s presence in Scotland, expanding its capabilities in advanced aesthetic medicine, plastic surgery and specialist procedures.
This acquisition reflects Electiva’s commitment to partnering with outstanding clinical teams and innovative centres of excellence — while offering patients greater choice, faster access and consistently high standards across the entire UK network.
