Founded in 1733, St George’s Hospital is one of the UK's largest teaching hospitals. It is run by the St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It shares its main hospital site in Tooting in the London Borough of Wandsworth, with the St George's, University of London which trains NHS staff and carries out advanced medical research.
The hospital has around 1,000 beds and most general tertiary care such as accident and emergency, maternity services and care for older people and children.
