Our charity

The London Clinic is one of only a handful of independent hospitals that operate as a charity. This means all our proceeds are re-invested back into the hospital, to advance healthcare for the benefit of our patients and the wider community.

Our impact:

Supporting our community: 

We are dedicated to using our specialisms to provide healthcare support to those from underserved communities. This includes providing essential healthcare education, resources and free screenings to those in need. Our new Rapid Diagnostics Centre will be opening in February 2024. As part of our charitable commitments, we aim for 20% of our patients to be non-traditional fee paying, to support both the NHS and underserved communities.

Saving lives through innovation: 

We prioritise investing in the ongoing improvement of our medical facilities through acquiring new state-of-the-art equipment. This allows our dedicated staff to utilise the latest advancements in medical science and technology, thereby enhancing patient care and expanding our capacity to serve more patients, including those from underserved communities.

Empowering our staff: 

We are dedicated to continually supporting the development and training of our staff to improve both the level of care they provide to patients, and to ensure their time working for The London Clinic is rewarding and fulfilling.

Patient care

We want to improve the lives of patients beyond their treatment and we’re always looking for ways to do better and strengthen the care we deliver.

We reinvest whatever surplus we make to advance healthcare, shaping the future and improving outcomes for every patient. In doing so, we can often benefit others, through innovations, expertise, and new ways of delivering exceptional medical care.

How your donations help patient care

We provide free accommodation for families, so they can be with a terminally ill family member during their final days. Our palliative care service was rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission during our last inspection.

We’re committed to supporting our patients living with cancer beyond their immediate treatment. The London Clinic has been awarded 5 stars by Macmillan Cancer Support for providing a high quality environment for patient care.

We believe exceptional care means making a patient’s stay in hospital as comfortable as possible. We aim to look after every detail; offering à la carte dining, patient entertainment and healing through our art and music programme, bringing musicians to play live on site and, on request, in our patient’s rooms.

Our Moving On programme, which helps patients transition from cancer to recovery after their treatment, includes complementary therapists, counsellors, dieticians, and chefs - all provided at no additional cost.

Our investment in innovation benefits patient care beyond our hospital. We work with a number of NHS Trusts to provide complex services to help reduce waiting times so patients can get treatment faster.

Research and innovation

We invest in life-changing research and pioneering treatments that advance medical care: for our patients, for the wider NHS and worldwide. We believe in bringing great thinking together and our Clinical Research Centre team works with world-class clinicians, hospitals, universities, and charities to explore new treatments and push medical research forward. Our research and investment in technical innovation mean we can test and develop ground-breaking new equipment that informs healthcare for the future.

How your donations help research and innovation

We are the largest stem cell collection centre in Europe.

Working with charities such as Anthony Nolan, and blood cancer charity, DKMS we collect over 700 stem cell donations a year and safely store them until needed by patients around the world.

We work with leading clinicians to develop and expand access to the latest treatments.

In 2018 we became the only independent hospital to offer Adaptive Radiotherapy for treating bladder cancer.

We’re also the only independent hospital research centre in the UK to support clinical trials for a brain tumour treatment using Inter-Operative Radiotherapy to deliver high dose radiotherapy alongside surgical treatment.

Our Clinical Research Centre works with consultants to explore new areas, develop new techniques and advance healthcare.

We have experts helping to study the causes and impact of dementia, exploring the impact of running marathons on hips and providing high-resolution images for liver, chest and breast cancer studies amongst others.

Training and education

We promote and encourage medical excellence by investing in the careers of the health professionals who deliver care. We provide pioneering training, offer work placements and support research for our own staff as well as for doctors and nurses studying and working elsewhere – helping them to build their skills and achieve their career ambitions.

How your donations help for training and education

We support our Fellows who are studying to become consultants by funding their research and consumable fees. This provides doctors with different types of experiences as well as an alternative route to progressing solely through the NHS.

We regularly fund high-level degree courses for clinical and non-clinical colleagues. As well as helping their career development, this also helps our teams to provide advanced, quality care for patients.

We work with the NHS and local universities to offer work placements to GPs as well as students studying radiography, physiotherapy and nursing.
