About Fortius

Fortius Clinic has more than 200 specialists from Orthopaedic and Spinal surgeons to sports physicians, rheumatologists, pain management specialists and radiologists. We diagnose and treat thousands of patients every year, from elite and amateur athletes to those with chronic arthritis and other orthopaedic & spinal injuries.

Fortius Clinic was founded by a group of specialists with a shared vision - to push the boundaries of orthopaedics and sports medicine and achieve new standards for clinical excellence. We knew that the way to achieve a world-class centre of excellence was through super-specialism, dedicating resources and expertise to one area of medicine and attracting like-minded clinicians who understood that we could be ‘stronger together’.

In 2021 Fortius Clinic became part of Affidea Group, a leading European healthcare provider owned by GBL, itself a long-term investor in health brands. Affidea has committed to help Fortius achieve our vision to become Europe’s leading specialist provider of orthopaedics and sports medicine.

We have some of the most exciting and rewarding career opportunities in private healthcare. Fortius is built on the talent and the skills of each individual within it. Our core company values remain at the heart of everything we do.
