Barts Health NHS Trust
Barts Health is one of the largest NHS Trusts in the UK, comprising three Emergency Departments, including the Royal London Hospital. We are a Major Trauma Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit, providing specialist care to North East London and beyond.
We are an innovative and forward-thinking team, working closely with our research colleagues to deliver pioneering, world-class care and treatment. We continue to develop new pathways and services that ensure a safe, efficient, and patient-centred approach to emergency medicine. Collaboration is key to our practice; we work alongside specialist teams to enhance patient experience and ensure timely access to the right care, at the right time and in the right place. Our Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) pathways continue to expand and evolve in response to patient and service needs.
The SDEC team at The Royal London Hospital was recognised as a finalist and received high commendation at the HSJ Awards 2024 and more recently, we have been shortlisted as finalists for the Patient Care Awards 2026 for our innovative SDEC pathway addressing nitrous oxide-related neurological harm. Our team has also contributed to the wider evidence base through published work on hypertension management, admission avoidance pathways and on nurse-led pathways including self-administration of intramuscular injections.
