About us

Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (HUH) is an acute hospital located in the East London Borough of Hackney. We are a merged hospital and community service Trust. The current Chairman is Sir John Gieve,and the Chief Executive is Ms Louise Ashley.

The hospital building opened in 1986, with Homerton Hospital Trust established in 1994. The hospital received university status in 2001. We provide training for medical students from Barts and The Royal London, Queen Mary College, University of London and nursing and allied health professions training for students from City University and the University of East London.

Homerton became one of the first ten NHS foundation trusts in the country in April 2004. This allows the Trust to secure certain freedoms to facilitate innovation in the way services are developed and provided. As well as our Trust Board, we also have a Council of Governors comprised of governors representing the local community.

Employing over 4000 people, the hospital has approximately 500 beds and also manages a 50-bed nursing home, Mary Seacole Nursing Home, in Shoreditch, East London. In 2019/20, the Trust admitted nearly 80,000 people, saw over 380,000 people in outpatient clinics and over 128,650 people were treated in the accident and emergency department.
