About us
The Royal Free Hospital was founded in 1828 to provide free healthcare to those who could not afford medical treatment. The title ‘Royal’ was granted by Queen Victoria in 1837 in recognition of the hospital’s work with cholera victims. For many years, Royal Free Hospital was the only hospital in London to offer medical services to women. This began a close association with the London School of Medicine for Women, later renamed the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine. Royal Free Hospital moved to its present site in the mid-1970s bringing together the old Royal Free Hospital in Gray’s Inn Road with the Lawn Road, New End and Hampstead General Hospitals. In 1991 the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust became one of the first NHS trusts established under the provisions of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990. On 1 April 2012 the trust was authorised as a foundation trust, under the name Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.
Clinical Services and Facilities
The Royal Free Heart Centre provides a comprehensive range of general and specialist cardiology services, serving both a secondary and tertiary role for patients in the North Central London sector. The cardiology unit comprises a seven bedded Coronary Care Unit and a designated cardiology ward (twenty beds) plus any inpatients on other wards being looked after by the consultants concerned. There is a dedicated diagnostic department providing a full range of non-invasive investigations, two new cardiac catheter laboratories and a day case coronary interventional unit (10 beds).
