Harley Street clinics unite at Arab Health

Located in Marylebone in the heart of central London, Harley Street Medical Area (HSMA) is a collective of hospitals, clinics and specialists who deliver outstanding patient care through pioneering treatments and cutting-edge technologies. In recent years, a lot of work has been undertaken to maximise the area’s appeal to world class operators, while actively seeking out the very best specialists to fill any gaps in the overall offering, which has led to a dramatic stepchange in the HSMA’s global profile. 

In addition to the number of world class hospitals (including the London Clinic, King Edward VII’s Hospital and HCA), which have become established in the area, a flow of new arrivals, in the past few years, means that these stalwarts now find themselves part of an increasingly impressive collective – unmatched anywhere else in the UK and far beyond. 

Not long ago, it would have seemed ambitious beyond reason for us to presume that the HSMA could be home to both the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic – the US’s two highest performing and most forwardthinking non-profit academic medical centres – yet here they are. As part of a wider collaboration with the University of Oxford, Mayo Clinic has opened a screening and diagnostics centre on Portland Place, and Cleveland Clinic has chosen to locate its diagnostic and outpatient facility, where most patients begin and end their treatment journeys, on the same wide Georgian street – the latter is due to open in October 2020.
