  • Guy's and St Thomas' and Royal Brompton & Harefield Joint
    30 January 2020 Guy’s and St Thomas’ and Royal Brompton & Harefield joint statement regarding plans for closer working Since 2017, Guy’s and St Thomas’ and Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trusts have been working together, and with colleagues across King’s Health Partners, to develop plans to transform care for people with heart and lung disease. Our two Trusts have a long history of being at the forefront of patient care and research. Throughout our discussions, together, and with our wider partnership, we have remained focused on how we can use our collective clinical and academic expertise to provide the best possible care to patients, meet all national standards for paediatric congenital heart disease and ensure the long-term future of the specialist services currently provided at Royal Brompton Hospital. It has become increasingly clear to the Boards of both Trusts that full integration of the services provided by Royal Brompton & Harefield with those at Guy’s and St Thomas’, in effect an agreed merger, is the best and most positive way of securing these aims and the collective vision of the wider partnership. This includes the creation of a hub for highly specialised clinical academic cardio-respiratory services at the St Thomas’ site. The Boards of both Trusts are confident that by formally bringing together our respective organisations and the shared expertise of our clinical and academic teams, we can significantly improve care and outcomes for people with cardiovascular and respiratory disease. This ambitious venture, in partnership with King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and our academic partners, will create a centre of national excellence for the care of adults and children, which will sit at the heart of a population health system working together to significantly reduce the burden of these conditions.
