About
London Bridge Hospital is one of the largest private hospitals in the country, providing acute care across all medical specialties, for patients within the UK and from around the world. They are at the cutting-edge of medicine, performing complex procedures like living donor renal and liver transplants, and stem cell transplants for blood cancers and multiple sclerosis. It's all thanks to the hospital's team of eminent consultants, all leaders in their fields of medicine. These distinguished men and women are supported by sub-specialised teams of nurses and other healthcare professionals, delivering care safely to the highest standards. Imaging, radiology, dietetics, physiotherapy and specialist counselling is all available, and staff are always registered with the appropriate professional bodies. Formal training and education, including university courses, help staff stay up to date with the latest medical developments and discoveries, and there's also a wide range of work-based, in-house workshops. Overseas patients are welcome at the London Bridge Hospital where there are specialist meals, foreign language TV and people on hand to translate. The tailored, customised individual care patients receive here has made the hospital a popular choice with GPs, consultants and patients. A central London location makes it easy to find and simple to travel to.
