Private limb reconstruction, fully supported.
Mr Nesbitt offers private trauma, limb reconstruction, deformity correction and limb lengthening surgery at The Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle — one of the few private hospitals in the UK with a full intensive care unit, making it suited to the major reconstructive surgery many of these conditions require.
The Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle.
The largest private hospital in the UK outside London, and one of very few with the critical-care infrastructure needed to support genuinely complex surgery.
The Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle, part of Circle Health Group, opened in 1981 and has built an international reputation for safe, effective outcomes across everything from complex cardiac and neurosurgery to orthopaedics and routine procedures. More than 600 consultants practise on site, many with teaching responsibilities at the region’s major centres.
What sets The Alexandra apart, for the kind of surgery Mr Nesbitt performs, is its critical-care capability. Unlike most private hospitals, it has a dedicated Level 3 intensive care unit on site, alongside seven operating theatres, high-dependency facilities and resident doctors available around the clock. Major limb reconstruction — frame surgery, deformity correction, limb lengthening and salvage procedures — can involve significant operating time, blood loss and a recovery that benefits from this level of support being immediately available if it is ever needed.
The hospital also offers advanced on-site diagnostic imaging — including MRI, CT and ultrasound — so that assessment, planning and follow-up can all happen in one place, with 128 private en-suite rooms for inpatient recovery in comfort and privacy.

Built for complex surgery.
Limb reconstruction is not minor surgery. The infrastructure behind the operating theatre matters as much as the procedure itself — and it is the main reason Mr Nesbitt has chosen The Alexandra for his private practice.
On-Site Intensive Care
A Level 3 ICU and high-dependency facilities mean that major procedures can be undertaken privately with the same critical-care safety net expected in a large NHS centre.
Seven Operating Theatres
Modern, fully equipped theatres designed for everything from complex cardiac surgery to orthopaedic reconstruction — with the time and capacity that long reconstructive cases require.
Advanced Imaging
On-site MRI, CT, ultrasound and X-ray allow assessment, surgical planning and follow-up imaging to be carried out in one place, without delay.
24-Hour Resident Cover
Resident doctors are present around the clock, providing continuous medical oversight throughout a patient’s stay — particularly important after major surgery.
Private En-Suite Recovery
128 private en-suite rooms offer a quiet, comfortable environment for recovery, with the privacy and individual attention that supports rehabilitation.
A Centre of Specialists
With 600+ consultants on site across every major specialty, input from anaesthetics, vascular, plastics or medicine can be drawn on quickly when a case calls for it.
A private hospital that performs like a major centre.
Few private hospitals combine this scale of facilities with full critical-care capability — which is exactly what complex limb reconstruction calls for.
