With a workforce of approximately 21,000, Barts Health is a leading healthcare provider in Britain and one of the largest NHS trusts in the country. We operate from four major hospital sites delivering high-quality, compassionate care to the 2.5 million people of East London and beyond.

The Royal London in Whitechapel is a major teaching hospital providing local and specialist services in state-of-the-art facilities. Whipps Cross in Leytonstone is a large general hospital with a range of local services. Newham in Plaistow is a busy district hospital with innovative facilities such as its orthopaedic centre. Mile End Hospital is a shared facility in Mile End for a range of inpatient, rehabilitation, mental health and community services. And St Bartholomew’s in the City, London’s oldest hospital (900 years old), is a regional and national centre of excellence for cardiac and cancer care.

As well as district general hospital facilities for three London boroughs, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest and Newham, we have the largest cardiovascular centre in the UK, the second largest cancer centre in London, an internationally-renowned trauma team, and the home of the London Air Ambulance. The Royal London also houses one of the largest children’s hospitals in the UK, a major dental hospital, and leading stroke and renal units.

The experience day will provide an opportunity to visit one of the hospitals in Barts Health NHS Trust, hear about the history of the group model and how it works, understand more about the improvement journey the Trust has been on, and the application of our WeImprove methodology to improve safety, patient experience and transform services for the community of North East London.
