The hospital featured in a reported legal case in tort, Batt v Highgate Private Hospital [2004] which established that a widower could not recover damages in respect of the cost of the cosmetic surgery which had resulted in his wife's death at the hospital. [3]
It was expanded during 2015 at a cost of £13 million to provide 43 en-suite patient rooms, four operating theatres, an Endoscopy Suite, Physiotherapy Suite, 15 outpatient rooms, and a private GP service. [4] Neurosurgery services were expanded in 2013 with the recruitment of consultant neurosurgeon Mary Murphy. [5]
On 28 September 2021, it was announced that Highgate Private Hospital had become part of Nuffield Health. This was part of a wider agreement that includes Parkside Private Hospital, The Holly Private Hospital, Cancer Centre London, The Edinburgh Clinic and Aspen Healthcare Corporate Office. [6]

The National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom, comprising the NHS in England, NHS Scotland and NHS Wales. Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland was created separately and is often locally referred to as "the NHS". The original three systems were established in 1948 as part of major social reforms following the Second World War. The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, provided without charge for residents of the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care. In England, NHS patients have to pay prescription charges; some, such as those aged over 60, or those on certain state benefits, are exempt.
