About us

We are an organisation that is getting better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we are proud of and our patients are happy with. We are no longer in special measures; we have opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and, in recognition of our progress, we have been shortlisted for Trust of the Year at the Health Service Journal Awards.

We operate from two main sites - KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We are campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen's and get rid of corridor care.

Our patients are benefiting from our Women's Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 94,000 scans a year. The majority of our 8,000 staff — who come from 146 different countries — live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 are on our Ofsted-accredited apprenticeship programmes. We are proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We are looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
