It is managed by Spire Healthcare, The Claremont Hospital was set up by the Sisters of the Institute of Our Lady of Mercy, a religious institute which had been set up in Ireland in 1831 and came to Sheffield in 1883.

The original hospital was opened in 1921 and was situated close to the city centre on Claremont Place on a site where the Royal Hallamshire Hospital now stands.

In 1986, the Sisters of Mercy created the nearby Highbury convent from two semi-detached houses that had been purchased and this provided improved accommodation for the Sisters working at Claremont.

[3] The hospital is a forty-one bed unit with three operating theatres and twelve consulting rooms.
