The London Clinic’s rapid diagnostics centre offers same-day appointments

The London Clinic private hospital has opened a new rapid diagnostics centre in Harley Street. The centre will focus on urology, gynaecology, breast and dermatology, as well as support a focus on early diagnosis, particularly in cancer. Patients will be able to book in and be seen within 24-48 hours.

With its own pathology laboratory on site, The London Clinic can conduct and review tests and scans and get results reported directly to the doctor or consultant within 72 hours of testing. When required, the centre will offer same-day rapid access to radiological or endoscopic procedures and minor surgeries to visualise tissue and take biopsies. Once a treatment plan is in place, patients will be offered personalised support that could include therapy-based treatments.

In addition, patients who remain with The London Clinic for treatment will be supported by dedicated clinical nurse specialists who follow patients through the entire treatment journey. The London Clinic opened in 1932 and has been a charity since 1935. The development of the rapid diagnostics centre was made possible by donations, including an initial donation of £4 million from the Rausing family, whose name is given to the building – The Julia and Hans Rausing Building.
