Heres an overview of the Kings and its legacy

King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust – or “King’s” as it is more affectionately called by patients and staff - is one of the largest and most complex Foundation Trust’s in the UK. Founded on its current site at Denmark Hill in 1913, it has grown to include the Princess Royal University Hospital (the “PRUH”) and Orpington Hospital in Bromley as well as providing specific services elsewhere in South East London at Beckenham Beacon and Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup.

The Trust’s 11,000 staff treat over one million patients every year and annually over 9,500 children are born in its maternity wards. The Trust also operates two emergency departments – one at Denmark Hill and one at the PRUH. On an average day, the emergency departments can treat between 450 and 700 patients, making them two of the busiest emergency departments in the UK.

Additionally, King’s College Hospital is also one of London’s major trauma centres and in 2017 the hospital played a major role in the capital’s response to the three major incidents at Westminster Bridge; London Bridge and Borough Market and the fire at Grenfell Tower.
