About us
Independent Health Group (IHG) was set up in 2004 by Dr Matthew Wordsworth with the aim of offering patients the choice of being
treated out of hospital, closer to home. Matt wanted to create a new health care organisation in which
like-minded health care professionals could deliver truly patient centred care. Our aim was to be a
leading provider of community-based diagnostic and treatment services of the highest quality,
where patients always come first.
In the summer of 2022 we were proud to receive an OUTSTANDING CQC rating.
Since 2004 we have grown the range of services we offer, and the sites we work from, and we believe that IHG offers you an opportunity to make a real difference to patients
care and treatment.
We pride ourselves on the quality of care we offer our patients.
IHG provides services from several locations in Wiltshire, Leicester, Gloucester and Devon, providing
surgical services including hand surgery, podiatric surgery, hernia, vasectomy and ophthalmology. All
the work we undertake is for the NHS
We work in a different kind of environment to that of an acute hospital setting. Our patients see the same
clinician and are offered specific appointment times. Our staff work within small teams with plenty of time
for patient contact. Working with us will offer you the opportunity to contribute to the
development of a fantastic organisation, as well as the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge
in a health care setting.
