Our Intensive Care Unit

The London Clinic Intensive Care Unit (ICU) provides specialised compassionate care for critically ill and post-operative patients with complex conditions and needs.

Supported by a dedicated team of specialist ICU Consultants, PHD level Specialist ICU Registrars, Nurses and Allied Health Professionals, we pride ourselves at placing the patient at the centre of the care we provide.

The ICU was redesigned with an environmental input from the Royal College of Art in a manner supporting excellent care and recovery of those suffering from critical illnesses or complex surgery in a clinically conducive environment.

• Modern ICU facilities contain infectious diseases and the clinic has the newest modern technology in their side rooms which help avoid cross-contamination.
• Infection rates are very low and are contained to individuals, as we monitor and review all Hospital Acquired Infections. Local practices support any infections control challenges and we have achieved zero contamination within the unit.
• Our Standard Mortality Rate averages around 0.7 which the Critical care Peer Review states ‘would put the unit in the top 10% of the country’ and has consistently maintained low death rates all of which are reviewed at Mortality and Morbidity Meetings within the clinic.
• Patient Experience feedback continues to demonstrate 95-100% satisfaction with their treatment across the MDT with numerous comments and compliments mentioning excellence in staff attitude, caring, compassionate, along with recognition of speciality surgical support and rehabilitation.
• Comprehensive Audit programme with proactive Quality Improvements aiming for continual improvements to care and experience.
