Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust
The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS foundation trust based in London, United Kingdom. It was formerly known as the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust. The trust operates several hospitals, including the Royal Free Hospital, Barnet Hospital, and Chase Farm Hospital. It also runs clinics at Edgware Community Hospital, Finchley Memorial Hospital, and North Middlesex University Hospital. The trust acquired the Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust in 2014, making it one of the largest trusts in the country.
The history of the Royal Free Hospital dates back to 1828 when it was established to provide free hospital care to the poor. In 1837, Queen Victoria granted the hospital the title 'Royal' in recognition of its treatment of cholera victims. The hospital has a long-standing association with the London School of Medicine for Women, later renamed Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine.
The Royal Free Hospital has undergone several relocations throughout its history. It was originally located in Gray's Inn Road before moving to its current site in Hampstead in 1974. The hospital has a strong reputation for its clinical services and research, particularly in the fields of liver disease, transplantation, and infectious diseases.
The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust continues to provide high-quality healthcare services to the population of London and beyond. With its network of hospitals and clinics, it plays a vital role in delivering healthcare to the local community.
