Kings Oak Hospital: BMI or Circle?
If you are searching for BMI Kings Oak Hospital, you are in the right place. BMI Healthcare became part of Circle Health Group in 2020, and its hospitals, including The Kings Oak in Enfield, now use the Circle name. The hospital, address, phone number and many of the consultants are the same. Older letters, insurance documents and NHS referral paperwork may still say BMI. See our guides to BMI Healthcare hospitals and Spire vs Circle hospitals.
