Working For Us

Kingston Hospital NHS Trust has been rated the top District General Hospital in London by Dr Foster in The Hospital Guide 2009, and is just a few points away from being in the top banding as one of the best performing hospitals in England for patient safety.

Out of the top six London Trusts, Kingston is the only District General Hospital: the others are teaching hospitals. Overall, the hospital lies 15th nationally.

The Hospital is based about 12 miles from the centre of London with good transport links into the capital and in a beautiful and historic part of the country.  It lies very close to Richmond Park and is close to Hampton Court Palace and Kempton Park,  and the River Thames is less than two. The hospital supports some 320,000 people in the surrounding area including the boroughs of Kingston, Richmond, Roehampton, Putney and East Elmbridge.

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.
