The Royal London Hospital is a teaching hospital, a major trauma centre and a hyper acute stroke centre. The hospital offers district general hospital services for Tower Hamlets as well as a broad range of specialist service to the wider population of London and Essex.

The trust is fully committed to the development of the PA profession and is establishing an education and mentoring program designed to support the continued professional development of its PAs. Elements of training are delivered as part of the multi-disciplinary team training including participation in simulation, case-based discussions and clinical governance meetings in addition to education sessions specifically aimed at PAs and supporting the need for recertification. Our aim is to become the most attractive and desirable organization to work for as a PA.
