** About Us **
On 1st April 2009 a brand new health organisation came into existence in South London. South London Healthcare NHS Trust is the product of the merger of three smaller hospital trusts - Queen Mary's Sidcup NHS Trust (QMS), Queen Elizabeth Hospital NHS Trust (QEH) and Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust (BHT) - to create a single hospital on several sites.
The merger has taken place after much thinking within the local health community about how we might create the best organisation for delivering top quality health services to local residents in the early part of the 21st century.
We will provide a full range of high quality NHS health care to the people of South East London and more specifically to the communities living in the London Boroughs of Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich.
We serve over a million people, employ over 6,000 staff and have an annual budget of over £400million, making us one of the largest NHS hospital trusts in the country.
** Our Values **
Launched 7 December 2010 at the Annual Staff Awards Event.
The SLHT Values help our patients to know what to expect from us, and what we as Trust staff should expect from each other. They are based on NHS constitution values and have been developed in consultation with around 700 patients and visitors and more than 400 staff.
