Whilst the World Health Organisation (WHO) advised in May 2023 that they still consider this a pandemic, it states that this is no longer a public health emergency of international concern. At King’s the Private Patient Department still supports the NHS with acute care and backlogs following the pandemic, so unfortunately we still do not have any inpatient beds for private treatments. We can however treat patients who require day case procedures. Please contact kch-tr.privateenquiries@nhs.net for further advice.
