We’re an organization that is improving continuously. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we’re no longer in special measures; and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a commitment to deliver care we’re proud of and that our patients are satisfied with.
Many of our 8,000 staff – from 146 different countries – live in the diverse London boroughs we serve. The majority are from black, Asian, and minority ethnic groups. Over 400 staff are on apprenticeship programs, and we’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We operate from two main sites: King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London, with over 300,000 visits in 2023.
Patients benefit from two new state-of-the-art theatres at KGH, and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase scan capacity.
We’re planning to introduce an electronic patient record next year, making patient records accessible across all seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health, facilitating easier access for staff and better care for patients.
