A Personal Message from Dr. Ahmed Albusoda MD. Phd. FRCP.
When a hospital closes, it doesn’t just affect a building, it affects relationships, routines, and the confidence patients have in their care.
Having spent years consulting and performing procedures at Nuffield Health St Bartholomew’s, I know that the announcement of its closure has left many of my patients wondering what happens next.
I’d like to offer you complete reassurance:
your care can continue seamlessly.
Where I Now See Patients
I now see all private patients at LSDC Healthcare, our consultant-led medical clinic located just minutes from St Bartholomew’s, by Liverpool Street Station in the City of London.
This independent clinic was designed for the same calibre of specialist care once associated with hospital settings, but with the convenience and discretion of a boutique medical centre.
Address: 23 Widegate Street, London E1 7HP
Appointments are available throughout the week, often within 24 hours.
What You Can Expect
At LSDC Healthcare, consultations follow the same principles you experienced at Nuffield Barts: direct access to a consultant, careful listening, and evidence-based treatment.
Our diagnostic capabilities include:
Advanced abdominal and pelvic ultrasound
Comprehensive blood, stool and breath testing (including SIBO)
ECG and cardiac screening
Access to endoscopic procedures through our partner hospitals
Our integrated electronic systems allow fast coordination of investigations and follow-up reports, whether you are self-funded or insured.
If You Were Under My Care at Nuffield St Bartholomew’s
If I previously looked after you at Nuffield Barts, please contact my team at LSDC so we can organise your next appointment.
With your consent, we can request your medical notes from the previous provider and continue your management plan without interruption.
We aim to make the process effortless, the same consultant, the same attention to detail, simply a different location.
Insurance and Self-Pay Options
LSDC Healthcare is recognised by all major UK and international insurers, including AXA, Bupa, Aviva, Cigna, Vitality, Allianz, Henner and Medigo.
Self-pay patients are also welcome, and our transparent pricing structure ensures no hidden costs.
Why Patients Choose the City Clinic
Many of my former Nuffield patients have said that coming to LSDC Healthcare actually feels easier; closer to work, quicker to book, and more personal.
Being independent means we can schedule investigations rapidly and maintain direct communication between doctor and patient.
Our City-based setting allows professionals to attend appointments before or after work, often with same-day results.
About the Transition
The closure of Nuffield Health St Bartholomew’s in 2025 marked the end of an important chapter in London’s private healthcare landscape.
The facility has now been returned to the NHS to expand public capacity.
For patients who value consultant continuity and minimal delay, independent clinics like LSDC Healthcare ensure that world-class private medicine remains accessible in the heart of the City.
