About Fortius
The Fortius Group is the UK's leading private orthopaedic and sports injury group.

Their vision was to create a clinic that would bring together the country's leading experts in orthopaedics and sports injury treatment, with a shared commitment to advancing the science of medicine and a better patient experience.

That group of experts now includes over 80 leading specialists, with two outpatient and diagnostic clinics, a surgical centre and an innovative inpatient unit for joint replacement surgery, in partnership with Bupa.
