Watch a short video message below from our Chief Executive, Jo Farrar:
We were the first acute Trust in south west London to gain Foundation Trust status in 2013, and in late 2018 the Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated our services as “Outstanding” for overall quality and leadership.
Our values guide the way we deliver outstanding care each and every time to our patients.
