Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (KCH) are two of London’s largest and busiest teaching hospitals, with a long and proud history, international reputations for their speciality services, teaching and research excellence, and a strong profile of local services to local residents in south east London.
Together the Trusts have an annual turnover of nearly £3bn and employ around 30,000 staff, with main GSTT sites at St Thomas’ Hospital and Guy’s Hospital, and main KCH sites at King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill, the Princess Royal University Hospital, Bromley and Orpington Hospital. The Trusts are key partners within King’s Health Partners AHSC (KHP), and Guy’s and St Thomas’ merged with the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS FT (RBH) in the Spring of 2021.
The two Trusts share a Chief Digital Information Officer (CDIO) and a vision for digital services that are lean and agile, that maximise the benefits of a shared service operating model, and deliver the digital ambition for both Trusts. This ambition is supported by a forward-looking and strategic approach, and significant investment in a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) which will catalyse a programme of work across both Trusts to transform the way technology and data is used across our services.
