Nuffield Health and Icon Group’s ambition for the partnership is driven by the organisations’ shared commitment to deliver the highest-quality oncology care and a seamless, best-in-class experience to patients in the UK.
The organisations are working to develop the first phase of the partnership, with a focus on the delivery of radiotherapy.
Nuffield Health is the only UK-wide independent hospital provider to have all hospitals rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by UK regulators*. With a mission to deliver the best care possible as close to home as possible, Icon Group is Australia’s largest integrated cancer care provider and has expanded globally into New Zealand, Singapore, Mainland China, and Hong Kong.
Wouter Van den Brande, Chief Strategy and Development Officer of Nuffield Health, says
“Icon Group’s clinical expertise, values and investment strategy align closely with ours. We have a shared vision to deliver the best clinical outcomes to as many people as possible. We are working in partnership with Icon to explore how, together, we can meet the rising demand for cancer care in the UK. Our initial focus will be on how our patients can benefit from Icon’s world-leading expertise in radiotherapy.”
