trusts. We provide a full range of hospital and community services for people in Lambeth, Southwark and

Lewisham, as well as specialist care for patients from further afield including cancer, renal, orthopaedic and cardiovascular services .

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.
