Established in 1932 by a group of Harley Street doctors, The London Clinic has a prestigious history as one of the UK's leading independent hospitals. It is a fully equipped acute facility that has earned a long-standing international reputation for the provision of clinical excellence.
Operating as an independent, charitable hospital we dedicate our skills, energies and resources to be the hospital of first choice for patients, specialists and staff.
We treat approximately 20,000 inpatients and 125,000 outpatients each year, and aim to exceed our patients' expectations by embracing the very best aspects of traditional patient care, delivered by highly trained staff adopting best clinical practice and using the latest medical technology.
In a recent Nursing Times' survey, the Clinic was voted as one of the top 100 employers for nurses in the UK with 'high staff-patient ratios and low levels of staff turnover'.
'Senior managers are described as approachable and friendly, and take a genuine interest in the welfare of employees. Hours are flexible, and there is good support for ongoing education'.
Our commitment to investing in progressive technology for better care and our extensive staff training, along with the expertise of our vetted consultants, attracts patients from around the globe who opt to access the very best that private healthcare can offer.
Our continual investment strategy enables us to undertake highly complex procedures, tests and treatments in addition to routine surgery and medicine. This involves the extended specialist clinical teams and support services such as: critical care, radiology, pathology and physiotherapy. We recently expanded our Intensive Care Unit to accommodate liver transplants.
The main hospital site spans Harley Street and Devonshire Place in Marylebone. We also have consulting suites located at 149, 147, 145 and 119 Harley Street and at our new Consulting Rooms and Outpatient Centre at 5 Devonshire Place. Later this year our new purpose built cancer center will open with the latest technology for better cancer care as will our new consulting rooms and laboratories at 116 Harley Street.
The majority of our consultants are eminent leaders in their field and some have royal appointments. In addition, a large percentage hold NHS teaching posts in their key areas of expertise.
Treating approximately 20,000 inpatients and 125,000 outpatients annually, The London Clinic embraces all specialties with the exception of cardiac surgery, obstetrics and psychiatry.
