In 2006, King Edward VII’s Hospital Sister Agnes introduced the use of the revolutionary lint free Microfibre as a cleaning material, a method that has shown in tests to reduce micro-organism growth by 99% compared with 30% when using traditional detergent based cleaning systems.
Clive Bath says; “preventing the spread of infection is the key to maintaining King Edward VII’s Hospital Sister Agnes’ impeccable record of zero-incidence for MRSA and C.Difficile. This has been achieved year on year through the hard work and the dedication of our in-house Hotel Services team, who are trained and managed by Jeff Hoad and Jennifer Jordan-Moss. Patients rightly expect a clean and safe hospital and King Edward VII’s Hospital Sister Agnes will continue to strive to maintain an exemplary level of cleanliness in all areas of the Hospital”.
King Edward VII’s Hospital Sister Agnes was short listed in the category for Hotel Services alongside two other distinguished independent healthcare facilities, Anchor Home and Four Seasons Health Care. The winner was determined following a site visit and formal presentation made by the nominees to the judges.

Notes for editors:
King Edward VII’s Hospital Sister Agnes
King Edward VII’s Hospital Sister Agnes was established in 1899 by two sisters, Agnes and Fanny Keyser, who turned their home at 17 Grosvenor Crescent into a hospital for sick and wounded Officers returning from the Boer War. King Edward VII became the Hospital’s first patron.
The Hospital moved to its present site in Beaumont Street in 1948 when it was officially opened by HRH Queen Mary.
Today, King Edward VII’s Hospital Sister Agnes is a private independent, acute Hospital, registered with the Healthcare Commission and recognised by Investors in People, offers the highest standards of medical excellence, the most modern equipment and facilities combined with impeccable standards of care from which so many patients and their families have benefited over the years.
