3fivetwo Announces 20 New Jobs
NI independent healthcare provider, 3fivetwo Group, has announced it is to create 20 new jobs.
The firm is also planning to expand this year and is spending an additional £350,000 on its Training Academy at Boucher Road in Belfast.
A Cardiac Investigations Department and Outpatients Department will be provided, along with expanded car parking, when the Kingsbridge extension opens later this summer.
Mark Regan, Business Development Director of 3fivetwo Group, said: "The NHS is struggling with demand and many people who previously would have been prepared to wait are realising it could be a year or more before they see a consultant or have surgery.
"Private treatment that gets them back to work and improves their quality of life sooner rather than much later is a good investment.
"Until now, local patients have either faced delays while waiting for a private slot in local NHS facilities or have had to travel to the Republic or GB for treatment.
"It will also increase our ability to attract patients from the Republic and beyond – in recent years, we have seen medical tourists from as far afield as Libya."
