Guy’s and St Thomas’s is among the UK’s busiest and most successful NHS foundation trusts.

Evelina London cares for local children in Lambeth and Southwark and provides specialist services across south east England including cardiac, renal and critical care services. Evelina London has recently been chosen as the location for provision of the Children's Cancer Centre for London and the South-East.
