The Royal Free Hospital is recognised as one of the leading teaching hospitals in London. Founded in 1828 by William Marsden, a young surgeon. The Royal Free was founded on the basis that it would offer treatment to anyone that needed it, being the first hospital in London to do so. The hospital forms part of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust and offers a wide range of medical services including paediatrics, gynaecology, orthopaedics, dermatology and specialist surgical procedures including liver and kidney transplants and neuroendocrine surgery. The hospital is vital in the development of ground-breaking new procedures such as robotic-assisted surgery and advancements in transplantation research.

The team actively seek feedback and opinions of patients and strive to provide an excellent experience for their patients as well as world-class healthcare, meaning patients can rest assured that they are in the hands of leading experts in the medical field.
