Today, the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust runs four London hospitals; Barnet Hospital, Chase Farm Hospital, North Middlesex University Hospital in North London, and the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead. Barnet Hospital and Chase Farm Hospital became part of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust on 1 July 2014. Last year our highly skilled healthcare teams provided treatment and care for over a million patients and achieved some of the best clinical outcomes in England. Our mortality rates have been the best among England's hospital trusts for many years. Our goal is to continue excelling and to be in the top 10 per cent in the UK for clinical research, scientific medical research and teaching outcomes. We provide a wide range of routine and specialist health services and we aim to deliver world class healthcare to our patients. To do so, we combine world class expertise with leading healthcare that is local, patient-focused and friendly.

Birmingham Women's and Children's is extremely proud to be a world leader in women's and paediatric healthcare, delivering some of the most advanced treatments, complex surgical procedures and cutting-edge research and development. Visit the hospital's website, www.bwc.nhs.uk for more information.

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) is one of the largest teaching hospital trusts in England, serving a regional, national and international population. It includes Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Solihull Hospital and Community Services, Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham Chest Clinic. We also run a number of smaller satellite units, allowing people to be treated as close to home as possible. We see and treat more than 2.2 million people every year across our sites and our hospitals deliver more babies than anywhere else in Europe. We are a regional centre for cancer, trauma, renal dialysis, burns and plastics, HIV and AIDS, as well as respiratory conditions like cystic fibrosis. We also have expertise in premature baby care, bone marrow transplants and thoracic surgery and have the largest solid organ transplantation programme in Europe. We provide a series of highly specialist cardiac, liver and neurosurgery services to patients from across the UK. We are world-renowned for our trauma care and have developed pioneering surgical techniques in the management of ballistic and blast injuries, including bespoke surgical solutions for previously unseen injuries. As a result of its clinical expertise in treating trauma patients and military casualties, the QEHB has been designated both a Level 1 Trauma Centre and host of the UK’s only £20m National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Surgical Reconstruction and Microbiology Research Centre (SRMRC). We have over 24,000 members of staff and we are committed to investing in their development and their health and wellbeing.
