3. The Trust, the Division, the Department

Barts Health NHS Trust is one of Britain's leading healthcare providers and the largest Trust in the NHS. It was created on 1 April, 2012 by bringing together three trusts: Barts and the London NHS Trust, Newham University Hospital NHS Trust and Whipps Cross University Hospital NHS Trust. The new Trust has a turnover of approximately £1.1 billion and approximately 15,000 employees.

Together our hospitals - Newham University Hospital in Plaistow, St Bartholomew's (Barts) in the City, The Royal London in Whitechapel, The London Chest in Bethnal Green and Whipps Cross in Leytonstone - deliver high quality clinical care to the people of east London and further afield.

The hospitals offer a full portfolio of services that serve the needs of the local community and are home to some of Britain's leading specialist centres including cancer, cardiac, trauma and emergency care. Barts Health also has one of the UK's busiest children's hospitals and internationally renowned surgical facilities.

Our vision is to create a world-class health organisation that builds on strong relations with our partners and the communities we serve - one dedicated to ending the historic health inequalities in east London. We will build an international reputation for excellence in patient care, research and education. And as members of UCL Partners, the largest academic health sciences system in the world, we will ensure that our patients are some of the first in the country to benefit from the latest drugs and treatments.

We are looking for the best talent to lead our ambitious new healthcare organisation. In return, the Barts Health will provide unsurpassed professional development opportunities, enabling investment in a range of new initiatives that would mean:

 doctors and nurses in training will be able to gain experience in different hospitals along the whole patient pathway;  there would be greater opportunity for career progression - we could retain good staff who might otherwise leave to gain promotion;  becoming world-class will enable us to recruit some of the best doctors and researchers in the world - who can share their knowledge and experience;  joining forces with other partners in an Academic Health Science System will mean that staff would be better able to secure funds and pool their talents to develop new technology, techniques and treatments.

3.1Barts Health values based on leadership Our leaders ensure a focus on health where patients are at the centre of all we do. They work to create a culture where innovation is promoted and encouraged. They lead by example and demonstrate value based decision making as being integral to the ways of working within the Trust.

Barts Health leaders are role models who demonstrate those attitudes and behaviours which will make us unique. Our leaders are passionate about delivering high quality patient care, take pride in the work that they do and are committed to delivering the Barts Health NHS Trust 10 pledges of:

a. Patients will be at the heart of all we do. b. We will provide consistently high quality health care. c. We will continuously improve patient safety standards. d. We will sustain and develop excellence in research, development and innovation. e. We will sustain and develop excellence in education and training. f. We will promote human rights and equalities. g. We will work with health partners to improve health and reduce health inequalities. h. We will work with social care partners to provide care for those who are most vulnerable. i. We will make the best use of public resources. j. We will provide and support the leadership to achieve these pledges.

Our leaders are visible leaders who believe in spending time listening and talking to our staff, patients and partners about the things that are important to them and the changes they would like to make to continuously improve patient care.

Barts Health leaders work with their teams to develop organisational values, embed them in our was of working and create the cultural changes required to ensure that we consistently provide an excellent patient experience, regardless of the point of delivery, in an environment where people want to work, regardless of where they work or what they do.

Department of Paediatric Dentistry

The Department of Paediatric Dentistry, is situated in the Dental Institute of The Royal London Hospital

The Department covers all aspects of Paediatric Dentistry. Routine dental care is carried out, along with the care of children with special needs, i.e. those with medical problems, mental and/or physical handicaps and those children whose special needs are not catered for within the community e.g. blood dyscrasias, cleft palate. The initial and long term treatment of dental injuries and dental anomalies is undertaken and adults with handicaps are also treated.

Our patient treatment is carried out in the Dental institute. Two theatre sessions take place each week, one in the Day Stay Unit at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and the other at The Royal London Hospital.
