Circle Health Group has joined Healthcare London, a powerful new collaborative made up of leading private healthcare providers and teaching hospitals in London.
Healthcare London’s purpose is to unlock access to London’s premium private hospitals for international people seeking to progress their complex healthcare needs in London’s centres of excellence.
The move strengthens London’s collective healthcare presence on the global stage, uniting major players across the capital to highlight its globally unmatched concentration of medical and surgical excellence, research innovation, and specialist expertise for patients coming from abroad.
Healthcare London officially launched at the Health Tourism Future Forum in Riyadh in 2024, marking the first time London’s top private and NHS teaching hospitals had exhibited together to promote the city’s exceptional healthcare offering to international audiences.
Circle Health Group delivers over 2 million patient visits annually, offering more than 500 treatments across 60 specialties. Its addition to Healthcare London reinforces the city’s growing international reputation for advanced clinical care and innovation.
The Group has a national network across the UK and is proud to present two flagship London hospitals as part of this initiative. These include:
· The London Independent Hospital – A leading centre for complex spine and orthopaedic surgery, equipped with 34 en-suite bedrooms, 19 consulting rooms, three operating theatres, and a JAG-accredited endoscopy suite. The hospital houses specialised cardiothoracic and neurology centres, a Level 3 intensive care unit, and a dedicated international patient team offering tailored, end-to-end case management.
· The Clementine Churchill Hospital – Renowned for orthopaedic surgery, gynaecology, general surgery, and gastroenterology, the hospital features 121 private en-suite bedrooms, five operating theatres, and cutting-edge robotic-assisted surgical technology. A multidisciplinary team of more than 300 consultants provides care for both adults and children in a modern, patient-focused environment.
