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

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.

The Princess Grace Hospital has always embraced pioneering technology


and practices which have proven highly effective and beneficial to all our patients. Our
multidisciplinary teams (MDT) of highly skilled clinical specialists and expert consultants
convene regularly to review and assess complex conditions. They successfully find the best
possible treatment and management solutions for a range of conditions. We’re the first in
private healthcare to have an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) MDT, based at our purpose-
built London Digestive Centre.

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
of personal and compassionate care.

Thank you for placing your trust in us to care for your patients.
