Parkside Hospital is a specialist hospital situated in Wimbledon, close to the centre of London and is owned by Aspen Healthcare. It is a private healthcare facility that delivers a very high standard of specialist care in most important areas of modern medicine and has a consultant staff, who are the leading specialists in the United Kingdom.  

Parkside Hospital recently opened a purpose-built, multidisciplinary cancer facility, which includes all aspects of new and established state of the art treatment methods, including radiotherapy. The specialist staff has been recruited from the top cancer centres in London. Innovative tumour-specific treatment is delivered in a very modern setting that is geared not only for very high outcomes but also a quality of life and convenience that is the best available. Central to this is a large Day Care Unit that is able to deliver chemotherapy in a setting that is less intimidating and more informal and comfortable than is normally found in cancer units elsewhere.

Part of this facility is a large and comprehensive multidisciplinary myeloma unit that is led by Professor Ray Powles CBE. The basis of this new unit is structured on the unit at the Royal Marsden Hospital that Professor Powles developed over three decades and is a continuum of the world famous reputation of this unit. A significant core of Professor Powles’ Marsden patients created the clinical base for the new unit but now a viable number of new patients and a newly created database are taking the unit forward. Clinical research and audit remain the driving force for developments that are occurring in the management of this disease.

The Unit has available all the new and innovative treatments particularly involving the biological management of this disease, in addition to new modalities such as vertebroplasty which are central to the ethos of the unit. Bone marrow transplantation is undertaken as a routine when indicated and all diagnostic and support facilities are available in the very latest formats.
