QUEEN MARY'S HOSPITAL

At Queen Mary’s Hospital (QMH) in Sidcup there is a new and innovative approach to providing healthcare. On 1 October 2013 the QMH site transferred to Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust – an NHS organisation with a strong track record of well-managed finances, developing high quality buildings and providing high quality care. Alongside Oxleas, who continue to provide a range of services at the hospital, are the local authority and a number of other local and established NHS trusts working together to provide high quality services at QMH:

• NHS Bexley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG): represents local GP commissioners
• London Borough of Bexley: provides a wide range of services including social care
• Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust: provides community health, mental health and learning disability services
• Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust: provides a range of hospital-based services
• King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust: one of London’s largest and busiest hospital trusts
• Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust: provides hospital and community-based services
• Guy’s and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust: provides healthcare services to people in three London boroughs and some specialist services further afield.

QMH will continue to be a vital resource for local people – especially for those in Bexley and in neighbouring boroughs:

• The urgent care centre (UCC) and GP out-of-hours service treat 40,000 patients each year
• Around 8,000 children are treated at the children's medical assessment (PAU) service
• More than 170,000 people are seen in outpatient clinics
• Following outpatient clinic appointments, around 12,000 people have a day-case procedure, while around 2,000 have surgery and need to stay in hospital
• Around 9,000 people receive rehabilitation or intermediate care.
