About us

We\'re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we\'re proud of and our patients are happy with. We\'re no longer in special measures we\'ve opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH) and, in recognition of our progress, we\'ve 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\'re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen\'s and get rid of corridor care.

Our patients are benefitting 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 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We\'re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

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