Dr Simmy Kaur, founder of The Nine Clinic, was recognised as a 2025 winning member of the Arab Entrepreneurs Board, honoured at a ceremony held at the House of Lords. The recognition reflects her work building a patient-centred private healthcare practice in London from the ground up, and sits alongside her clinical work as a practising GP.
The Arab Entrepreneurs Board is a London-founded platform connecting entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders across the UK and the wider MENA region, offering networking, business development and international growth opportunities. Its recognitions highlight members who have shown notable achievement in building and growing their businesses, drawing from a network that spans multiple industries rather than healthcare specifically.
That breadth matters for context. A healthcare founder being recognised alongside entrepreneurs from other sectors says something different to a clinical or medical award, it’s a recognition of business achievement, judged by peers who understand what building and scaling a company actually involves.

Holding the ceremony at the House of Lords underlines the standing of the event itself, a setting more commonly associated with policy and public institutions than with entrepreneurship.
Before founding The Nine Clinic, Dr Kaur worked across NHS general practice and leading teaching hospitals. Starting a private clinic meant taking on the responsibilities of a business owner, premises, staffing, and day-to-day running costs, alongside her clinical work as a GP. That dual role, doctor and founder, is part of what the Arab Entrepreneurs Board recognition points to.
The two roles don’t sit neatly apart. Decisions about opening hours, which services to offer or where to expand next all have direct clinical consequences, not just commercial ones, because they shape how quickly and how well patients can be seen. Dr Kaur’s recognition by the Arab Entrepreneurs Board reflects that combination specifically: not just clinical competence, which is a given for any practising GP, but the business judgement to build something that stands on its own.
Dr Kaur’s recognition reflects a broader conversation around women building medical businesses on their own terms, rather than working solely within existing institutions, balancing clinical responsibility with running the business day to day.
Since this recognition, the clinic has continued to grow, most recently being named Private Medical Clinic of the Year 2026/27 in the London and South East Prestige Awards. Read more about that award and what the judges highlighted about the clinic’s progress. Taken together, the two recognitions tell a fairly clear story: a business built by its founder from scratch, that has gone on to be judged, independently and on separate occasions, as one worth taking seriously.

Whichever award brought you here, the day-to-day experience at either clinic is the same one both recognitions point back to: a practice built and still run by the person who founded it.

Dr Simmy Kaur is the founder of The Nine Clinic, a private GP practice with clinics on Harley Street and Sloane Square in London. She combines clinical practice as a GP with running the business she founded.
The Arab Entrepreneurs Board’s recognitions are based on business achievement rather than industry, so a healthcare founder can be recognised on the same basis as an entrepreneur from any other sector, judged on how they have built and grown their business.
