About Guy’s and St Thomas’
Located in the heart of London, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is an organisation of high pedigree with a proud history going back over 900 years.
As one of the UK’s busiest and most successful teaching NHS foundation trusts – in terms of number of patient contacts, clinicians trained and research conducted and adopted in practice – we have developed world-class services in a number of specialities.
The Trust provides a full range of services, as well as specialist services including cancer, cardiothoracic, women and children’s services, kidney care and orthopaedics. Guy’s is home to the largest dental school in Europe and a £160 million Cancer Centre opened in 2016. As part of our commitment to provide care closer to home, in 2017 we also opened a cancer centre and a kidney treatment centre at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup.
St Thomas’ has one of the largest critical care units in the UK and one of the busiest emergency departments in London. It is also home to Evelina London Children’s Hospital.
