Evelina Children’s Hospital at Guy’s & St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust
The Evelina London is one of the leading children’s hospitals in the UK and a premier Paediatric cardiac centre. The Paediatric Cardiac service at the Evelina was formerly located within Guy’s Hospital and has a proud history of clinical innovation and “world firsts”. Since the move in 2005 to our purpose built, award winning new building, Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac surgery at the Evelina has continued this long tradition for excellence and innovation.
Our cardiac program manages the full spectrum of congenital heart problems on one campus and provides continuous care from the foetus (Fetal Cardiology Unit, Evelina), through childhood (Paediatric Cardiology, Evelina) into adult life (Adult Congenital heart disease at St. Thomas’ Hospital). Many of our patients are referred from a network of regional hospitals but, due to the highly specialised services we offer, patients may also come from other UK centres or from abroad for treatment and surgery at the Evelina. Due to this diverse referral pattern the case mix seen at the Evelina is extremely varied and often clinically challenging.
The trust has an on-site gym, cinema, library, social club and swimming pool. There is an on-site nursery (limited places) and the trust is a ‘family friendly’ employer.
