About the Royal Free London Private Patients Unit
The Private Patients Unit at the Royal Free Hospital was established in 1980. The unit is part of the NHS and is wholly owned by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. We offer you access to some of London’s most experienced specialists, all of whom work as NHS consultants at the Royal Free, Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals. Find out how we’re investing in the NHS.
