consultants are available if referral and/or admission are necessary.
We aim to provide rapid access to an initial assessment and a broad range of diagnostic equipment to diagnose and treat illnesses and
minor injuries such as:
• Acute medical conditions, include breathing difficulties and stomach problems
• General ear, nose and throat conditions and general aches and pains
• Traumatic injuries, including sprains, fractures, sports injuries, cuts, abrasions and other soft tissue injuries.
Patients must be over the age of 18, and initial treatment is on a self-pay basis.

Welcome
I am delighted to present to you The Princess Grace Hospital’s 2019

For over 40 years our mission has been singularly focused on our
commitment to the care and delivery of acute and complex healthcare
in a multidisciplinary setting. In the following pages, you will have access
to world-leading consultants and specialists. They are experts who are
challenging medicine, developing new techniques and setting standards for
healthcare in their field.
We take great pride in the outstanding services and treatments we deliver across medicine,
from the robotic surgery we provide across orthopaedics and urology to pioneering oncology
treatments, such as NanoKnife™ and TOOKAD™, we continually set new trends. In addition,
we became the first private hospital in the UK to perform both a total knee and total hip
replacement with Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery.
At our hospital, you can be assured that your patients will continue to receive the highest level
