About Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation
Trust
Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is based about 12 miles from the centre of London with good
transport links into the capital and is based in a beautiful and historic part of the country. The hospital
supports around 350,000 people in the surrounding area from the boroughs of Kingston, Richmond,
Roehampton, Putney, Merton and East Elmbridge.
The Trust has approximately 520 beds and directly employs around 2,700 staff, with another 300 staff
employed by contractors but working on behalf of the Trust. We are located on a single site in
Kingston upon Thames, but run a number of outpatient clinics in sites across our catchment area
including Raynes Park Health Centre, Surbiton Centre for Health, Queen Mary's Roehampton and
Teddington Memorial Hospital.
We provide a full range of diagnostic and treatment services and have a national reputation for
innovative developments in healthcare, particularly in 'patient-focused' care, day surgery and
maternity services.
Kingston Hospital has been ranked in the top ten trusts in the country following the most
recent NHS staff survey.
•
75% of staff said that they would recommend Kingston to others as a place to work, putting
the hospital significantly above the national average for NHS trusts
•
When asked if they would recommend the hospital as a place to receive care, 82% of the
hospital’s staff confirmed that they would, putting the Trust in the top performing group of
hospitals and the second best score in London
We aim to make these values ‘what we do’ – to inspire, develop and support every one of us to live
our values; every patient, every colleague, every day.
These values are about us all helping each other to deliver great patient experience more consistently
– involving people who use our services, their families, carers, staff and partners in continuing to
improve the experience people have using and delivering our services.
