St Georges University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

What St Georges University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust does

St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a publicly funded NHS Foundation Trust and one of the largest healthcare providers in South West London, operating as a major teaching hospital with 1,300+ beds, 9,000+ staff, and two principal sites — St George's Hospital in Tooting and Queen Mary's Hospital in Roehampton — plus four community health centres across Wandsworth and Merton. The trust delivers comprehensive acute, emergency, and elective services including a designated major trauma centre (one of four in London), a hyper-acute stroke unit (one of eight in London), cardiac surgery, neurosciences, oncology, maternity, and renal services, and it serves as the European launch site for next-generation medical devices such as Stryker's Pangea Plating System.

Core technology assets include the da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system (used for the trust's first robotic CABG in December 2025), advanced CT scanning infrastructure in the Atkinson Morley Wing (legacy of the world's first clinical CT scan in 1971), and the GAPS Advanced Patient Simulation and Skills Centre, which trains over 4,000 healthcare professionals annually. Digital infrastructure comprises the MyCare patient portal, NHS e-Referral Service integration, and Cerner PowerChart for internal clinical workflows. The trust's clinical research programme includes the largest-ever cardiac screening study of young people (104,000 individuals) conducted with Cardiac Risk in the Young.

The trust is a public benefit corporation within the NHS, funded primarily through NHS England and clinical commissioning groups under the NHS standard contract framework, with services free at the point of use. A secondary revenue stream operates through the Private Patient Service for self-pay and insured patients. In 2022, the trust formed the St George's, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group (gesh), creating one of the largest NHS hospital groups in England. The trust has no external private equity or venture capital ownership and is accountable to NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care.
