Guy’s and St Thomas’ is one of the largest hospital trusts in the country, with a staff of almost 15,300 , a turnover of over £1.4 billion and 2.3 million  patient contacts a year

 

The Trust comprises two of London’s oldest and best known teaching hospitals.  The hospitals have a long history, dating back almost 900 years, and have been at the forefront of medical progress and innovation since they were founded.  Both hospitals have built on these traditions and continue to have a reputation for excellence and innovation.

 

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has a strategic ambition to be a system leader and has been accredited by NHS Improvement as one of four NHS Foundation Trusts approved to work in partnership with other organisations to form a Group.  Through the New Care Models Vanguard Programme, we have been working in partnership with Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust in Kent to test models for greater clinical and organisational collaboration.

 

The Trust also plays an active role in the South East London Sustainability and Transformation Partnership.  The STP has an ambitious agenda to share corporate back office functions and the Trust’s Chief Finance Officer plays a pivotal role in leading and shaping this work to ensure it will deliver its potential for greater efficiency and cost reduction for the benefit of the local health economy.
