We have an overall CQC rating of Good, and we are rated Outstanding for both our care and leadership. The hospital has a budget of £578m and over 5,400 staff. We offer a full range of local and specialist services, which includes one of the largest children's hospitals in the UK with one of London's busiest paediatric accident and emergency departments. Home to London's Air Ambulance, The Royal London is also one of the capital's leading trauma and emergency care centres and hyper-acute stroke centres, a major dental hospital and a leading renal unit. From its earliest days it stood at the leading edge of medical development and new initiatives. It had been the first hospital in England to house its own medical school, and in 1895 became the first to offer a preliminary training school for nurses. With a focus on education and training it would go on to become the home for many leading clinicians. The London Hospital was granted its Royal title by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1990 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of its opening on the Whitechapel site. In 2012, with space in mind a new state-of-the-art hospital was built on the Whitechapel site. The new Royal London Hospital building was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2013. Mile End Hospital Barts Health provides a range of outpatient and diagnostic services on the Mile End site and we are excited to be opening a £5m centre of excellence early diagnosis centre from December 2020, planned and delivered in partnership with the North East London Cancer Alliance and our partners at BHRUT and the Homerton hospitals. This facility compliments the services that are located at Mile End Hospital and further develops the diagnostic and OP offer on the site. Mile End is also being developed as a surgical pain hub for the local system and this will be up and running in December 2020.We are proud to share the Mile End Hospital site with our system partners including East London NHS Foundation Trust, services for the GP Care Group, and Moorfields Eye Hospital who provide outpatient ophthalmology services on the site. The site also accommodates commissioner offices, research and training facilities for our academic neighbours at Queen Mary University of London, a Healthwatch base, the Whizz- Kids wheelchair services. The future of Mile End Hospital is exciting with a clear system and integration theme running through everything we do. There are further plans to build an MRI unit and move more outpatient and ambulatory services to site and away from the acute hub at The Royal London Hospital making services as accessible as possible for our local population.
