Guy's and St Thomas' is one of the largest hospital trusts in the country, with around 25,000 staff; an annual turnover of more than £2.4 billion; and 2.2 million patient contacts a year. Our hospitals have a long and proud history, dating back almost 900 years, and have been at the forefrontof medical progress and innovation since they were founded. We continue to build on these traditions and have a reputation for clinical, teachingand research excellence.

We provide a full range of hospital services for our local communities and community services for patients in Lambeth and Southwark. We also provide specialist services for patients from further afield, including cancer, cardiac, kidney, women's and orthopaedic services, and we are home to the Evelina Children's Hospital.

As an organisation we are committed to developing our services in ways that best suit the needs of our patients. This means that some staffgroups will increasingly be asked to work a more flexible shift pattern so that we can offer services in the evenings or at weekends. We also havea positive approach to corporate social responsibility and are keen to engage our staff in an agenda that ranges from promoting environmentalsustainability to the creation of local employment opportunities.
