International platforms
By partnering with private investors to develop new healthcare facilities overseas, we are able to share our knowledge, skills and expertise, with all profits generated from this work reinvested back into the NHS for the benefit of UK patients.
As a ‘wrap-around’ service, we offer an advisory support and a quality assurance role to ensure high standards of clinical care are established and maintained at all overseas hospitals in our network.
This includes:
- clinical advisory support and guidance
- quality assurance
- aligning clinical pathways, policies, and processes to NHS standards
- supporting ongoing integration and service improvement programmes
- providing access to a suite of education and training programmes
- recruitment for key posts
- procurement service support for major medical equipment or ongoing consumables
- where appropriate, licensed use of the King’s College Hospital brand
As King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is a publicly owned and funded organisation, we cannot invest capital. We are not an operator but support the operator with the services listed above. We are unable to deliver NHS clinical services at the facility, but King’s doctors (once locally licensed) can see patients as part of their private practice as a visiting doctor.
Our partnership approach
Our priority is understanding your requirements to help you deliver a safe, high-quality, patient-focused service and to put in place an assurance framework to support this.
