We’re an organization that is continually improving, driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are satisfied 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 our Chief Executive, Matthew Trainer, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with over 330,000 visitors last year. We are campaigning to secure the £35m needed to transform the A&E at Queen’s and eliminate corridor care.
Our patients benefit from initiatives such as our Women’s Health Hub in Ilford, an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch, and Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub in Hornchurch. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing an additional 88,000 scans annually.
The majority of our 8,000 staff come from 146 different countries, representing diverse backgrounds from the black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities. Many staff members work flexibly, and over 400 are enrolled in our Ofsted-accredited apprenticeship programs. We are proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We look forward to introducing an electronic patient record system that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
