Our story
Since opening in 2000, St Edwards has grown into a trusted independent hospital for people who want private, consultant-led care without compromising on emergency readiness or specialist expertise.
Today we are known as both a modern private acute hospital and a major cancer and research centre. Patients come to us for planned treatment, complex oncology, diagnostic excellence and — when needed — 24-hour emergency medicine.
Our departments span emergency and urgent care, oncology, research and clinical trials, virology, immunology, surgery, radiology, pathology, intensive care and the full range of supporting clinical and patient services expected of a high-end London hospital.
What defines St Edwards
Four commitments shape how we practise medicine every day.
Cancer centre
Integrated medical, radiation and surgical oncology, haematology and palliative care — coordinated through multidisciplinary tumour boards.
Research centre
Clinical trials and translational research so eligible patients can access emerging therapies without leaving their care team.
24/7 emergency care
A consultant-led Emergency Department open every hour of the year, with rapid pathways for oncology and paediatric emergencies.
Our purpose
To provide safe, compassionate, consultant-led private care; to advance cancer treatment through research; and to remain ready, day and night, for anyone who needs emergency medicine.
