We offer comprehensive care throughout life and support our communities to live healthier lives, as well as providing care when they need it most.

Employing nearly 7,500 colleagues, known as Team LGT, we operate at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham, and various community settings in Lewisham, along with some services at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup.

We recently launched our new vision and values to celebrate the tenth anniversary of our Trust, emphasizing our commitment to being exceptional in patient care, staff support, and community impact. Our core values include Respect, Compassion, and Inclusion; Being accountable over staying comfortable; Listening over always knowing best; and Succeeding together over achieving alone. More about our vision and values can be found here.

Our hospitals and community sites provide a broad spectrum of inpatient, outpatient, emergency, and planned services. The Trust is rated as 'good' or 'outstanding' in over 75% of inspected services by the Care Quality Commission.

Annually, we perform approximately 10,000 procedures, support 7,500 births, conduct 570,000 community visits, and handle over 300,000 emergency cases in our Urgent and Emergency Departments.

LGT is a hub for medical education, training medical students from King's College London's GKT School of Medical Education, along with nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals. We are pioneering new roles to meet evolving patient needs and are among the largest employers of physician associates nationally.

We actively collaborate with partners within the South East London Integrated Care System (ICS), including the South East London Acute Provider Collaborative and local mental health trusts, to improve outcomes for our communities.
