King's College Hospital

From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA

King's College Hospital is a large NHS teaching hospital in London, England. It is managed by the King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The hospital provides a full range of local hospital services and is a major tertiary referral centre for liver disease and liver transplantation, neurosciences, haemato-oncology, foetal medicine and cardiac services.

History[edit]

King's College Hospital was originally opened in 1840 in the disused St Clement Danes workhouse in Portugal Street close to Lincoln's Inn Fields. It was used as a training facility where medical students of King's College London could practice and receive instruction from the college's own professors. The surrounding area, by contrast, was full of disease and poverty.

Services[edit]

King's College Hospital provides a full range of services including the treatment of acute and chronic conditions, diagnostic services and preventative healthcare. The hospital is also a major centre for specialist services including liver disease and transplantation, neurosciences, haemato-oncology, foetal medicine and cardiac services.

Research and Development[edit]

King's College Hospital is a major centre for medical research. It works in partnership with King's College London and is part of King's Health Partners, an academic health science centre.
