Cromwell Hospital is a world leader in private healthcare. Since 1981, we have delivered exceptional care from our state-of-the-art hospital in Kensington, central London.
We pride ourselves on providing world-class healthcare services to our patients. Our advanced facilities and leading-edge technology enable our expert medical professionals to deliver exceptional care in a safe and comfortable environment. We understand that every patient's needs are unique, which is why we offer personalised treatment plans tailored to our patient’s specific requirements.
We are proud to take part in the Patient-Led Assessments of the Care Environment (PLACE) Programme, the results of which allow us to continually improve our services for our patients. In 2023, we were delighted to receive a total average of 99.15% – the highest average score across all UK hospitals that took part, including the independent sector. We also scored 100% for Food, Organisation Food, and Ward Food.
For more than 40 years, we have cared for patients and their loved ones from across London and the UK, as well as those who visit us from more than 140 countries around the world.
We are excited to be expanding the hospital campus, extending into Lexham Gardens, which has been designed to provide an enhanced patient experience through comfortable and spacious outpatient facilities, state-of-the art radiology, and therapies departments. As well as increasing our outpatient capacity. we will also be opening a new theatre, with a 10-patient recovery area and new staff facilities, alongside a new cath lab.
The development will provide the hospital with more than 33,000 additional sq ft of space, enabling us to provide world-class healthcare to more patients from London, the UK and overseas. The new building is also an opportunity to reduce our overall carbon emissions by taking advantage of new technologies and improving efficiency. This will support our ambition to be net zero by 2040.
We are committed to expanding and improving access to fast, reliable care for our patients, which is why our newly opened Urgent Care Centre offers rapid access to treatment for illnesses and injuries for patients over 18 years of age.
Unique to London, our private Urgent Care Centre is led by emergency medicine consultants, ensuring rapid access to a consultant. The Centre operates a walk-in service for patients over 18 years of age, with no appointment or referral necessary. If preferred, patients can also call to book a same-day appointment or be referred by their GP or consultant.
Our state-of-the-art private Urgent Care Centre utilises the latest technology and equipment to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatment.
Continuing our commitment to expanding access, we opened our Acute Admissions Unit in 2023. The unit is a referral-only service for UK-based and international patients aged 18 and over with serious but non-life-threatening illnesses, providing fast and frictionless access for admission to secondary care.
Led by a Consultant Acute Physician with support from a dedicated onsite multidisciplinary team, our Acute Admissions Unit provides immediate access to consultant-led specialties, including cardiology, orthopaedics, general surgery, and gynaecology to support a seamless patient journey.
At Cromwell Hospital, we understand that it is important to be in a comfortable environment when undergoing cancer treatment. That’s why the hospital has invested in refurbishing its Chemotherapy Day Unit to provide patients with a comfortable and relaxing environment in a specialised department, with experienced staff and supportive care teams that work together.
We know that physical environment has a significant impact on the healing process, and our new spaces are private, comfortable and inviting. This will allow patients to detach, relax and self-heal.
We are pleased to introduce Aquablation as another treatment option for people affected by benign prostatic hyperplasia (benign enlarged prostate).Aquablation is a minimally invasive, heat-free treatment that uses the power of water, delivered with robotic precision, to provide long-lasting relief from benign enlarged prostate.
