Signature Clinic and CES Medical form strategic clinical partnership in Kent

Signature Clinic has entered into a strategic clinical partnership with CES Medical, under which patients will undergo cosmetic surgery at CES Medical’s Tunbridge Wells facility.          

The agreement enables patients in the South East to access Signature Clinic’s network, with surgery performed under CES Medical’s established clinical governance framework.

As part of the collaboration, CES Medical will work alongside Signature Clinic’s wider clinical network, facilitating referral opportunities across multiple UK regions.

Dr Sayani Sainudeen, CEO of Signature Clinic, said: “This partnership reflects our strategy of working with high-quality clinical providers to expand access to cosmetic surgery while maintaining consistent standards of care. CES Medical has a strong operational and clinical foundation, making them an ideal provider for surgical services.”

The partnership coincides with a collaboration with Theogren Balakrishnan as Principal Surgeon at the Tunbridge Wells site.

Mr Balakrishnan will lead cosmetic surgical services locally at CES Medical, working alongside Signature Clinic’s wider clinical network.

John Fairhurst, Chief Clinical Officer at Signature Clinic, said: “From a clinical governance perspective, CES Medical operates to a high standard, with robust systems and a clear patient journey.”

Elion Hyseni, CEO of CES Medical, added: “Working with Signature Clinic allows us to broaden the range of specialist services available at our Tunbridge Wells facility. Signature’s experience in delivering high-volume cosmetic surgery across its national network makes them a strong strategic partner for sustainable growth.”

Signature Clinic is currently the UK’s largest provider of cosmetic surgery by volume, operating a national network of clinics and theatres with a focus on consistency, governance and scalable clinical delivery.

CES Medical is an emerging ophthalmology provider with its foundations in Kent and an increasing operational footprint across the South East. Under the leadership of Elion Hyseni, the organisation continues to expand its presence within the ophthalmology sector, underpinned by a long-term ambition to develop a national footprint.

Both Signature Clinic and CES Medical are actively exploring partnerships with ophthalmology practices across the UK as part of a wider strategy to expand through collaboration with established providers.
