About us
We're an organization continually improving, driven by a commitment to deliver high-quality care and patient satisfaction. We are no longer in special measures; we've opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH), and our CEO, Matthew Trainer, was named top CEO by the Health Service Journal in 2024.
Our main sites are KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments serving over 330,000 visitors last year. We are campaigning for £35m to transform Queen's A&E and eliminate corridor care.
Our patients benefit from initiatives like the 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 operate 12 hours daily, 7 days a week, providing an additional 94,000 scans annually.
Our diverse staff of over 8,000 come from 146 countries, many work flexibly, and over 400 are enrolled in Ofsted-accredited apprenticeships. We are proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We are introducing an electronic patient record system that will benefit staff and patients alike.
