BACKGROUND

University College London Hospitals (UCLH) NHS Foundation Trust, situated in the West End of London, is one of the largest NHS foundation trusts in the United Kingdom and provides first class acute and specialist services to patients both locally and from throughout the UK and abroad. In November 2011, UCLH was named the top NHS hospital trust in London, according to the Dr Foster Hospital Guide. The Trust was among four across the country to receive the accolade for the quality of care it delivers to patients. It is the third time in a decade that UCLH has received this award.

The state-of-the-art UniversityCollegeHospital is the focal point of the Trust alongside six specialist hospitals. UCLH was one of the first trusts to gain foundation status. The Trust has an international reputation and a tradition of innovation. Excellence in research and development was recognised in December 2006 when it was announced that, in partnership with University College London (UCL), it would be one of the country’s five comprehensive biomedical research centres.

The UCLH Charitable Foundation (registered charity no. 1077638) was established in 1999 ‘to promote the relief and prevention of sickness and disease’, and to support the UCLH NHS Foundation Trust by raising funds for the erection of buildings, the purchase of medical equipment, for education, for research and for the employment of staff. UCLH Charitable Foundation has successfully fundraised for many capital projects across our hospitals including the recent Cancer Centre Appeal to develop the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre, the first ambulatory cancer hospital in the UK.

The Charitable Foundation is currently fundraising for:-

The Lungs for Living Appeal
A Radiopharmacy
The Cancer Clinical Trials Unit
The Cardiology Clinical Trials Unit
The Transplant Unit
Young Person’s Unit
Research into Sarcoidosis
The Obstetrics Fund

In the past the Charitable Foundation has helped fund the creation of the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre, an Interventional MRI Scanner; the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Library and Information Service at the RoyalLondonHomoeopathicHospital; Complementary Therapies for Oncology patients and a Cellular Therapy Unit for cancer patients receiving high dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
