With a turnover of £1.1 billion and a workforce of 15,000, Barts Health is the largest NHS trust in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers. The trust’s five hospitals – St Bartholomew’s (Barts) in the City, The Royal London in Whitechapel, The London Chest in Bethnal Green, Newham University in Plaistow and Whipps Cross University in Leytonstone – deliver high quality compassionate care to the 2.5 million people of east London and beyond.
Barts Health offers the full range of local hospital and community health services – from one of the biggest maternity services in the country, to compassionate end of life care at home. The trust’s hospitals are home to world-renowned specialist centres, including cancer, cardiac and trauma and emergency care, as well as one of Britain’s biggest children’s hospitals. The Royal London is also the base of London’s Air Ambulance, one of the world’s leading pre-hospital medical services for victims of serious injury.
Barts Health is committed to providing excellent healthcare and to ending the historic health inequalities of east London. Working with our patients, health and community partners, we will transform the way we deliver healthcare and support our local communities to live healthier lives.
We will create a world-class health organisation, delivering compassionate care to the highest international standards to every patient, every time. Our care will be clinically leading-edge and, through the involvement of our patients, truly focused on the patient experience.
We will build an international reputation for excellence in patient care, research and education, and through our key role in UCLPartners, the largest Academic Health Science System in the world, we will ensure that our patients are among the first to benefit from the latest drugs and treatments. We are a health organisation, and we will use every contact with our patients, not just to treat illness and injury, but also to promote health.
