It's all smiles at one Wimbledon hospital after it was voted the best in London by the very people it serves.

Each year, Howard Warwick Associates conducts a survey in which patients can rate private healthcare providers on all aspects of their care and treatment.

In 2018, Parkside Hospital received a total of 4,173 responses out of the 36,042 patients who participated in the survey, across a total of 20 London hospitals.

Now it has been announced that Parkside ranked number one in a total of 15 categories.

Hospital director, Phil Bates was over the moon with the result.

“I’m thrilled that our patients have taken the time to give us their feedback and recognise our teams' hard work to care for them," he said.

"Our team truly deserve to be number one; we stand out in services right across the hospital when compared to other London facilities.

"I’m proud to know that our patients think we really are world class.”

The hospital received top ratings for quality of care, how likely patients are to recommend us and consultant quality.

Clinical teams that were rated as number one by patients were physiotherapy, operating theatre staff and pharmacy.
