Extending Total Care - Urgent Care
The Princess Grace Hospital
Launching the Urgent Care Centre is one example of the multi-disciplinary private Princess Grace Hospital's innovative approach to providing total care for patients over the past 25 years in the capital.
With 110 beds, including intensive care and a high dependency unit, the hospital boasts one of the most advanced and best equipped diagnostic imaging departments in the capital, including MRI, CT scanning, ultrasound, x-ray, bone density and comprehensive neurophysiology, the world's first truly multidisciplinary lithotripter and full field digital mammography.
The Urgent Care Centre for medical emergency and minor injuries is the latest in a range of fully integrated specialist clinical centres being launched by The Princess Grace to provide expert diagnosis and treatment.
Already opened at the hospital are:
- the Breast Screening, Diagnostic & Treatment Centre, offering screening with full field digital mammography, diagnosis, treatment and aftercare;
- the Brain & Spine Centre, a new comprehensive, integrated service to diagnose and manage neurological disorders, and
- the London Prostate Centre. with its advanced High Intensity Focused Ultrasound equipment amongst its full-range of treatment options
Other specialist centres are being planned and developed by The Princess Grace Hospital for the current year.
"In each case, we have consulted with medical colleagues, including GPs, and other individuals before progressing with these successful centres that do much to break down the artificial divisions that have existed between medical specialisms and so improve the overall service provided to our patients", explains Susan Smith, chief executive of The Princess Grace Hospital.
