About Priory Group
Priory provides independent mental healthcare, addiction treatment and adult social care across the UK. Its hospitals treat depression, anxiety, eating disorders and addictions, while residential and supported living services support autistic adults and people with learning disabilities, brain injuries and enduring mental health conditions.
Based in London, its 270 facilities work with NHS and local authority commissioners, private patients and medical insurers. Priory is the UK part of MEDIAN Group, which also operates in Germany and Spain. Its 2025 Gender Pay Gap Report describes 12,000 colleagues supporting nearly 24,000 people annually. Healthcare, Adult Care and Restore are its three operating divisions. Restore launched in 2025 with Flourish, a therapy-led residential addictions programme, extending care from hospital treatment to community support.
