RNOH research project wins award at global oncology conference
RNOH Private Care recently supported the transfer of a critically ill patient from a London-based private hospital to our specialist unit in Stanmore. Thanks to the close collaboration between our Consultant Surgeon, fellow clinicians, the independent hospital ward, and our dedicated team at RNOH, the patient received the complex surgery and rehabilitation they needed, safely and efficiently.
This case highlights the critical role NHS Private Patient Units (PPUs) play in the private healthcare landscape. With access to highly specialised teams and the full NHS infrastructure, RNOH Private Care supported a complex patient transfer, being uniquely positioned to manage complex cases that may exceed the capabilities of standalone private hospitals.
Choosing RNOH Private Care means starting your private healthcare journey within the NHS, where all surpluses are reinvested into NHS services, benefiting all patients. It’s a model that combines clinical excellence, ethical practice, and patient-first values.
Yes. We regularly collaborate with other private and NHS hospitals to support complex patient transfers, ensuring continuity of care and access to specialist services.
PPUs like RNOH Private Care offer private treatment within an NHS setting, combining specialist expertise with full access to NHS facilities and infrastructure.
All surpluses generated by RNOH Private Care are reinvested into NHS services, helping improve care for all patients. The private care unit is a department within the NHS Trust meaning that all funds go directly to the Trust.
