About us
The Royal Free London Private Patients Unit is wholly owned by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust and part of the NHS.
All profits which our hospitals earn are reinvested into the trust to the benefit of all our patients, NHS and private. This is by supplying vital hospital equipment, funding nursing posts, supporting leading edge medical research, patient care and education. We are proud to bring the very best skills and standards of the NHS to benefit our private patients and, in doing so, support the continued development of the NHS and the Royal Free London through our success.
Our top priority is to ensure that each patient receives the highest quality care.
