In 2025, Cromwell Hospital hosted various meetings and events with consultants from different specialties to introduce them to hospital teams and other healthcare professionals.
We also provided corporate hospitality at no cost to referring clinicians, including social events like Christmas parties and educational events such as service line demonstrations and symposia. These events were reasonable, proportionate, and not intended to influence referrals or reward clinicians for referrals.
To ensure transparency, we have disclosed below the frequency and cost of these events. Costs typically include food, drinks (paid to external vendors), and venue hire.
