In 2024, Northwestern Medicine announced a groundbreaking international collaboration with The London Clinic, the United Kingdom’s largest independent charitable hospital. As part of this wide-ranging agreement, the two organizations will work together to help make patients better by making medicine better.

Northwestern Medicine and The London Clinic are nonprofit organizations that share a combined 250 years of delivering health care to the communities they serve.

The London Clinic will draw on Northwestern Medicine’s experience in healthcare innovation, technology, research and operational efficiency to accelerate infrastructure improvements and growth. Northwestern Medicine aims to expand its international reach, build collaborations with other healthcare systems, and develop patient-centered pathways with world-renowned physicians.

The collaboration will focus on enhancing patient care by providing a way for researchers and physicians to share innovation and clinical breakthroughs, especially for the most complex conditions and cases. It also will amplify the impact Northwestern Medicine and The London Clinic make in their communities with the goal of increasing access to care. Both organizations plan to share best practices to optimize the way they operate to allow more resources to be allocated toward patient care and community health initiatives.
