You’re a relatively new hospital. How can I be sure I’ll be well cared for?

Wyvern was founded by neurosurgeon Dr William Sears, together with a number of colleagues from the former Dalcross Hospital, with the aim of creating a facility built around careful, patient-centred care. Many of our team worked alongside him at Dalcross, and that sense of a close, committed team has carried over to Wyvern. The hospital was purpose-built with input from the surgeons who work here, including the equipment they specified. So while Wyvern is a newer hospital, it brings together an experienced clinical team in a setting designed around your care.
