Cleveland Clinic Brings Renowned Model of Care to New Hospital in London

Cleveland Clinic expanded its global footprint today with the opening of Cleveland Clinic London, a 184-bed state-of-the-art hospital at 33 Grosvenor Place in the city center.

The opening marks the second Cleveland Clinic facility in London. Cleveland Clinic Portland Place Outpatient Centre opened in September 2021.

As part of one of the world’s top hospital systems, according to Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals 2022 list, Cleveland Clinic London extends access to Cleveland Clinic’s doctor-led model of care based on innovation, empathetic care and a commitment to research and education. Caregivers will treat a wide range of conditions, but will focus on heart and vascular care, digestive disease, neurosciences and orthopedics. The hospital has 29 ICU beds and eight operating theaters. With its 41-bed neurological rehabilitation center, Cleveland Clinic London will be among the first private hospitals in the U.K. that can conduct intraoperative imaging for brain and spinal cord disorders, a leading tool in preventing reoperations.

Advanced technologies, pharmacy barcoding, robot-powered tracking

An acute admissions unit and 24-hour intensive-care specialist staffing in the ICU will support treatment for a complex patient population. The hospital also offers a full range of medical subspecialties, services for imaging, labs and interventional radiology, and advanced medical and surgical technologies, including innovative laser and robotic surgery facilities.

It will offer the most advanced minimally invasive procedures, such as transcatheter aortic valve implantations (TAVI); Cleveland Clinic was one of the early pioneering centers of TAVI and has since become a world leader in this specialized treatment.

Cleveland Clinic London is also the first U.K. hospital to use advanced technology such as pharmacy barcoding and robot-powered medicine administration tracking, introducing an additional level of safety in the delivery of medicine. Patients and caregivers will have access to the most advanced electronic medical records, allowing caregivers to make faster and more effective decisions about care, and giving patients easier access to information about their treatment.

“For more than 100 years, Cleveland Clinic has been at the forefront of medical innovation and specialized health care,” said Cleveland Clinic CEO and President Tom Mihaljevic, MD. “We believe that touching more lives is our ethical imperative. With the opening of Cleveland Clinic London, we are extending our unique model of care to more patients than ever.”

Brian Donley, MD, CEO of Cleveland Clinic London, said, “This is an eventful moment for the entire Cleveland Clinic family. We are excited to be bringing our unique model of care to the U.K., combining London’s world-renowned physicians and research with Cleveland Clinic’s 100-year history of technological advances and clinical expertise. We will provide patients with an unparalleled experience and the highest quality care.”

A culture of transparency

Cleveland Clinic is among the first hospitals in the United States to publish outcomes. Since 2004, it has required all clinical specialties to collect and publish comprehensive data every year.

In 2008, the health system was the first to disclose industry relationships of our clinicians and in 2015 was the first medical center to display patients’ ratings and comments about the care they receive.

Cleveland Clinic London will report data and outcomes to key U.K. national registries. The hospital will publish detailed information on its treatment outcomes, with the goal of helping existing and future patients make informed decisions about their care options.
