Private Healthcare

BUPA Cromwell Hospital
one of the most comprehensive in the UK private hospital sector. The hospital specialises in areas including
prostate, liver, lung, heart and breast cancer. We also perform kidney and liver transplants, complex heart surgery (almost 150 cardiac cases were carried out last year), and run a busy dialysis unit that has just been refurbished to the highest standards. The Gamma Knife Centre was the first in London and uses the latest technology; the Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion. Gamma Knife targets brain tumours with pinpoint accuracy, and over 1,500 patients have been successfully treated. We also recently performed our first neurosurgery where the patient was awake during the whole operation.
Consistency of care The reason the hospital is able to offer such varied services is that it has the advantage of holding all these specialities on one site. This is quite rare in a busy city such as London, but makes processes much smoother for the patient. We have everything from on-site GPs (who offer walk-in appointments and immediate referral into the hospital if required), to diagnostics all the way through to surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and physiotherapy. We have adult and paediatric intensive care units for patients with critical conditions, and even make our own cancer medications on site, tailored to each patient to reduce side effects. This consistency prevents patients from being

shuttled from one hospital to another, but also has the added advantage of making the hospital a real centre of medical knowledge. There is such a variety of consultants and GPs here that they really learn from each other. They are quite happy to pick up the phone and ask questions of each other, because many of them come from different teaching hospitals. On top of this we have set up multi- disciplinary teams that are based around a particular body site. So for example if there was a complex lung case the respiratory consultants, surgeons and specialist radiologists would all come together to analyse the case and choose the best course of action as a team. For overseas visitors the hospital has its own
International Patient Centre that can offer across the board assistance, from helping patients understand their care through to organising hotels for family
