Since 1981, Cromwell Hospital has been delivering exceptional care from our state-of-the-art facility in Kensington, London. Over the years, we have consistently innovated and enhanced healthcare delivery and
now offer some of the most advanced treatments and facilities for patients’ healthcare needs.
Our dedication to patient care is reflected in our achievement as the highest-rated hospital in the UK for the Patient-Led Assessments of the Care Environment (PLACE) – an independent evaluation that measures how well the hospital environment supports the delivery of clinical care.
We are pleased to serve the needs of patients across London and the world with a comprehensive, expert-led range of services for men and women.
At Cromwell Hospital, our gynaecologists are dedicated to providing exceptional care for women of all ages. The London Centre for Gynaecology Care, our outpatient department, is located in a quiet, welcoming area of the hospital where women can feel relaxed and confident in their care.
Here, we provide a range of diagnostic procedures, including a consultant-led ultrasound service to support conditions such as endometriosis and menopause. Patients can also receive outpatient treatments, including the MonaLisa Touch® – a hormone-free treatment for vaginal atrophy – that takes just an hour to complete.
With patients waiting on average seven years for an endometriosis diagnosis, the International Centre for Endometriosis at Cromwell Hospital provides rapid access to diagnosis and treatment.The Centre is number one in the UK for performing the highest volume of complex endometriosis operations.
Led by Mr Amer Raza, one of the UK’s most renowned endometriosis experts, our Centre provides a comprehensive range of services for both women and adolescent girls, from initial consultations and diagnostic tests through to treatment options. Eligible patients can benefit from laparoscopic surgery, which can often improve recovery times and reduce pain.
We recognise that endometriosis can have a severe impact on quality of life in young women, such as missing school, sports and social activities with their friends. Therefore, we are pleased to provide specialist support for young patients aged 13 to 18, led by gynaecologist Miss Maya Al-Memar in our young people’s department.
Dissatisfied with the treatment options that were available for her endometriosis, patient Lily Hansen sought care at Cromwell Hospital and underwent laparoscopic surgery. She says of her experience: “The care I received was of a high standard and all the staff, from Mr Raza to the anaesthesiologist and nurses, were all very supportive and friendly. They took the time to explain each step and keep things light-hearted. I felt seen and cared for, which is sometimes lost in the medical field.”
With one in seven women in the UK affected by breast cancer, we understand the importance of having rapid and seamless access to care. That’s why we provide a one-stop breast clinic across all three of our London sites – Cromwell Hospital, Basinghall Clinic and London Medical – making swift access to care even easier.
Our one-stop clinic enables patients to see a consultant and have all scans, tests and a biopsy (if needed) on the same day, all under one roof. Patients who receive a breast cancer diagnosis can access our award-winning Integrated Cancer Campus at Cromwell Hospital, which boasts some of the most advanced treatments and state-of-the-art facilities in London. Here, our consultants use leading technology such as Vinehealth, a cancer companion app, to maintain a direct line of communication with patients for a personalised experience.
Our urology service provides swift, thorough investigations for a range of common men’s health concerns, including blood in the urine, kidney stones, erectile dysfunction and incontinence. Patients can benefit from next-day appointments with leading urologists and access to specialist diagnostics, including multiparametric prostate MRI, bladder scanning, and flow rate measurements.
Around one in eight men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and, with prompt diagnosis and treatment, most cases will have a positive outcome. Entry to our dedicated prostate pathway begins with an abnormal prostate-specific antigen test at a routine GP appointment, and takes patients through the best diagnosis and treatment options for their situation.
Following a pre-clinic call with a specialist nurse, patients will be able to have a consultation with a urologist, multi-parametric MRI scan and any other diagnostics all on the same day. For patients diagnosed with prostate cancer, their case will be discussed at a multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting and a follow-up consultation will be held to discuss their options.
In 2023, 100% of prostate cancer patients at Cromwell Hospital who required an MRI had their results discussed with a consultant urologist on the same day. Additionally, 100% of eligible prostate cancer patients were offered a biopsy within five days; 100% of patients diagnosed with cancer were discussed in an MDT; and 100% of patients offered treatment within 31 days of diagnosis.
The symptoms of an enlarged prostate can be a source of frustration and embarrassment for many men, particularly those aged over 50. However, when it comes to treatment, many worry that the procedures offered will have unwelcome side effects, such as sexual dysfunction. Cromwell Hospital is pleased to provide a comprehensive range of solutions to suit all cases, including Aquablation therapy.
Aquablation therapy at Cromwell Hospital is led by urologist Mr Neil Barber, who was responsible for introducing the procedure – among others – to the UK. The treatment is unique in that it uses a heat-free water jet to ablate obstructive prostate tissues, which provides effective, long-lasting relief and drastically lowers the risk of complications.
The Integrated Cancer Campus is a leading London facility for comprehensive cancer care. In partnership with GenesisCare, we are home to one of Europe’s most advanced radiotherapy centres, which utilises state-of-the-art technology including the Varian Edge, Gamma Knife Icon and MRIdian MR Linac.
Our recently refurbished Chemotherapy Day Unit is situated in a bright, serene area of the hospital, which was purposely designed to promote relaxation and recovery. In 2025, we were awarded the Macmillan Quality Environment Mark (MQEM) in recognition of going above and beyond for people with cancer. All patient cases will be reviewed and discussed at MDT meetings to determine the appropriate course of action.
As a hospital at the forefront of innovation, we are proud to invest in the very latest robotic equipment for the benefit of both consultants and patients. This includes the da Vinci Xi and the da Vinci SP, which are used to carry out minimally invasive gynaecological and urological surgeries among others.
There are many benefits for patients who undergo robotic surgery, including improved recovery times, less pain, and less scarring. “The accuracy and precision of the da Vinci system works really well for keyhole procedures, such as hysterectomies and complex endometriosis. Using the da Vinci systems means our patients can leave hospital and recover more quickly,” explains Mr Amer Raza, consultant gynaecologist at Cromwell Hospital.
