Working for our organisation
We are an organisation that is getting better and better, and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we are proud of and our patients are happy with. We are no longer in special measures; we have opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH). In recognition of our progress, we have been shortlisted for Trust of the Year at the Health Service Journal Awards.
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 improve patient flow.
Our patients benefit from the Women’s Health Hub in Ilford, an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch, and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and provide an extra 94,000 scans a year.
The majority of our 8,000 staff come from 146 different countries and live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 are on our Ofsted-accredited apprenticeship programmes. We are proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We look forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
