Guy's & St Thomas' (GSTFT) has been appointed host organisation for the LCRN in South London (South London CRN). Guy's and St Thomas' is one of the largest hospital trusts in the country, with an annual turnover of more than £1.2 billion; 2 million patient contacts a year, and employing 13,200 staff. Our hospitals have a long and proud history, dating back almost 900 years, and have been at the forefront of medical progress and innovation since they were founded. We continue to build on these traditions and have a reputation for clinical, teaching and research excellence.

We provide a full range of hospital services for our local communities and - from April 2011 - have integrated community services in Lambeth and Southwark into the Trust. We also provide specialist services for patients from further afield, including cancer, cardiac, kidney, women's and orthopaedic services, and we are home to the Evelina Children's Hospital.

As an organisation we are committed to developing our services in ways that best suit the needs of our patients. This means that some staff groups will increasingly be asked to work a more flexible shift pattern so that we can offer services in the evenings or at weekends. We also have a positive approach to corporate social responsibility and are keen to engage our staff in an agenda that ranges from promoting environmental sustainability to the creation of local employment opportunities.
