Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital NHS Trust is made up
of two of London’s oldest and most well known teaching hospitals.
The hospitals have a long history, dating back almost 900 years,
and have been at the forefront of medical innovation and progress
since they were founded.
Both hospitals have built on these traditions and continue to
have a reputation for excellence and innovation. In 2004 (for the
second year running), we have been awarded a maximum three stars
in the Government’s performance ratings.
As well as providing a full range of hospital services for our local
communities in Lambeth and Southwark, the Trust provides specialist
services for patients from further afield. As major teaching hospitals,
Guy’s and St Thomas’ work closely with our major academic
partner, King’s College London.
The Trust has many exciting plans for the future. Last year we
opened a new Women’s and Neonatal Centre at St Thomas’,
and work is currently underway on the new Evelina Children’s
Hospital that will open in early 2005.
The Trust is one of the largest employers locally, with over 8,000
staff, and is working hard to reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity
of the communities we serve. Our success depends on the commitment
and dedication of our staff, many of whom are world leaders in the
fields of health care, teaching and research. We continue to work
hard to recruit and retain the best staff, on whom the smooth running
of our services depends. |
