About
In the heart of London's Chelsea, The Lister Hospital and its associated outpatient facilities have been providing top class care for more than three decades. They're best known for their superb fertility clinic, one of Britain's most successful with over 17,000 very special babies born so far. They also specialise in gastroenterology, cardiology and orthopaedic treatments at various well-respected centres of excellence. As well as a popular 24/7 rapid referral service for GPs, they have an excellent walk-in Urgent Care centre where people can get a fast diagnosis plus instant access to the facility's superb medical teams and marvellous facilities. You can even book same day or next day diagnostics and screening at any of their outpatient and diagnostic centres. The Lister enjoys a position as a leading private treatment centre for women's health services like gynaecology, advanced breast screening and menopausal health, with a one-stop breast clinic and rapid access screening service. There's a great rapid referral service to make sure you get the immediate assessment and treatment you need, with instant access to state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, highly-skilled medical teams and world-class treatments. Additional services include expertise in colorectal surgery, rare cancers, and major surgical reconstruction, thanks to an on-site intensive care unit. No wonder the Care Quality Commission gave them an 'Outstanding' rating for quality outcomes.
