Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and that our patients are happy with. Many of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. More than 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes and we're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London - more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023.

We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year.
