University of Pennsylvania Health System announced Monday that Penn Medicine London opened in London’s Mayfair area.
“Penn Medicine has a long history – dating past the founding of our nation – as a global health care leader, and we are pleased to extend our reach with a physical presence in the UK,” Ralph Muller, CEO of the University of Pennsylvania Health System, said. “We have always been proud of our role in training the world, and this initiative advances that mission by opening new doors and forging new relationships both in the UK and across Europe.”
The Penn Medicine London initiative enables patients in the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU) to access Penn’s experts and care through referrals and telemedicine. It also presents opportunities for collaboration with UK medical schools.
“Penn Medicine London will provide enhanced access for patients seeking care from teams who are continuing to pioneer the next generation of prevention and treatment strategies for diseases of all kinds,” said J. Larry Jameson, executive vice president of the University of Pennsylvania for the Health System and dean of Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine. “The initiative also provides opportunities for innovative collaborations between Penn and UK and EU medical schools, including research-focused projects as well as physician exchange programs, ensuring the world’s brightest medical minds continue to share ideas and learn from each other.”
