St George's Healthcare NHS Trust
- St George's Healthcare NHS Trust
The St George's Healthcare NHS Trust is an NHS organisation providing acute hospital care in south-west London, England.
Most of the Trust's services are based at the St George's Hospital site in Tooting, which it shares with the St George's University of London Medical School. As distinct from the local hospitals which surround it, St George's has more in common with inner London teaching NHS Trusts such as Barts and The London NHS Trust, in that it provides a wide range of specialist and tertiary services including neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery and cancer care.
Originally established in the 18th century and based in what is now the Lanesborough Hotel at Hyde Park Corner in central London, St George's moved to its current Tooting site during the early 1980s.
St George's is emerging from a difficult period of poor publicity and arguably poor management under a new team of senior staff led by Chief Executive David Astley. While it faces serious financial and strategic problems, the Trust is developing a reputation for openness in the publication of clinical risk data. In August 2005 St George's claimed to be the first hospital in the UK, and possibly the world, to publish its mortality rates across individual specialties.
