Going above and beyond for our international patients
With an international reputation for excellence, we have welcomed patients from over 140 countries, attracting self-pay, insured and sponsored patients with our comprehensive service offering, world-leading specialists and innovative technology. To enable us to deliver not just world-class medical care, but also a world-class experience to all of our international patients, we offer a dedicated International Patient Centre (IPC). The IPC team provide a one-stop service for international patients and their families coming to the Cromwell, ensuring their experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible, and the service we offer is caring, confidential and respectful. The IPC is comprised of patient coordinators, who support patients on each stage of their healthcare journey, as well as interpreters, offered free-of-charge across all languages. We also have many multilingual consultants and nurses working at Cromwell, across a broad range of specialities.
Cultural support
In addition to providing practical support, the IPC are dedicated to ensuring the care and treatment our international patients receive is culturally sensitive and appropriate. As our international patient advocates within the hospital, they help enable positive health outcomes through their ability to understand and communicate effectively with people across a range of cultures. This cultural awareness is central to our wider hospital’s framework and facilitates a smoother patient journey and better experience.
