The London Clinic

The London Clinic is a private healthcare organisation and registered charity based on the corner of Devonshire Place and Marylebone Road in central London. According to HealthInvestor, it is one of England's largest private hospitals.
History.
The London Clinic was established by a group of Harley Street doctors; the building was designed by Charles Henry Biddulph-Pinchard and officially opened by the Duchess of York in 1932.
In 2005, The London Clinic became the first hospital in the UK to trial and offer robotic surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System, allowing specialist consultants to perform complex procedures.
The Queen opened a new cancer centre, built at a cost of £80 million, at the London Clinic in April 2010.
After an inspection in December 2014 by the Food Standards Agency the organisation was given only two stars - the only hospital in London to perform so poorly - but the poor standard of hygiene was addressed and, after a further inspection in June 2015, the Clinic was awarded five stars.
In November 2015 it secured a £65 million revolving credit facility from HSBC which was used to increase theatre capacity, boost technology investment and renovate the radiology and intensive care facilities.
The Duchess of Cornwall visited the Clinic in February 2017. In November 2017 the Care Quality Commission described the design of the new intensive care unit and the annual multi-faith memorial service, which contributes to end of life services, as areas of "outstanding practice".
The clinic opened a specialist centre for robotic surgery in 2019.
Facilities.
The hospital comprises 234 beds and 10 theatres (including a hybrid theatre). There are 750 members of clinical staff, and some student nurses in training.
About 15% of its earnings come from overseas patients.
