We serve a population of more than 666,000 people across Lewisham, Greenwich and Bexley, employ 6,500 staff and have 901 beds across our two hospitals.We have made many improvements including important clinical developments at our hospitals. Recently at QEH we've opened two short-stay wards that sit in a brand new building next to the Emergency Department (Wards 22 and 23) and significantly upgraded our CT scanning and endoscopy services. Developments at UHL include a mental health crisis café called The Harbour, the opening of Lewisham Dialysis Centre on site, a new MRI scanner and optimised conditions in our theatres. Our journey of improvement doesn't end there with plans for ongoing improvements in the pipeline.Our vision is to work together to provide high quality care for every patient, every day.
