Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals make up the largest specialist heart and lung centre in the UK and among the largest in Europe. Our partnership between two specialist hospitals, which are known throughout the world for their expertise, improves our standard of care and research success. We only provide treatment for people with heart and lung disease. This means our doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff are experts in their chosen field, and many move to our hospitals from throughout the UK, Europe and beyond, so they can develop their particular skills even further. We carry out some of the most complicated surgery, and offer some of the most sophisticated treatment that is available anywhere in the world and treat patients from all over the UK and around the globe. At the core of our partnership are 7 key values; belief systems that are reflected in thought and behaviour. We care, we respect, we are inclusive, we believe in our staff, we are responsible, we discover and we share our knowledge. Our hospitals are part of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
