Organisation and Context

We are 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 are no longer in special measures; we\'ve opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, was named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal in 2024. 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 in Hornchurch. 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.
