Location:

As an NHS Trust, Imperial College Healthcare's primary operational focus is on serving its designated patient population within North West London and providing specialist national services. It does not maintain 'global offices' in a commercial sense. However, its global influence is significant through: its world-leading medical research published internationally; strong academic collaborations, particularly with Imperial College London which has a global reach; training of healthcare professionals from many countries; and contributions to global health advancements and best practices. The Trust's staff also participate in international conferences and collaborations, sharing expertise and learning from global healthcare systems.
