About

This information is provided by Royal Free London - Private Patients Unit.

Located in the heart of Hampstead, the Private Patients Unit at the Royal Free Hospital was established in 1980. The unit is part of the NHS and is wholly owned by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. Based on the 12th floor, we combine the convenience, comfort and personalised attention of a private hospital with the very best state-of-the-art services, technology and professional excellence you would expect from a top London teaching hospital. We offer you access to some of London’s most experienced specialists, all of whom work as NHS consultants at the Royal Free, Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals. We are proud to bring the very best skills and standards of the NHS and teaching hospital to the benefit of our private patients and in doing so, support the continued development of the NHS and Royal Free Hospital through our success.
