医院介绍

The Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth, is one of the UK's largest independent charitable hospitals. Profits are used to fund its on-site hospice, St John's, which offers free care to over 3,000 patients and their families every year.

The hospital was founded in 1856 with a Roman Catholic affiliation and is a registered charity.[1]

In 2009, it had an income of £42,671,000, making it one of the 150 largest charities in the United Kingdom.[2]

Hospital facilities include five theatres, and en-suite bathrooms in all bedrooms. It is also the home to British Athletics, which established its medical HQ at the Hospital to care for track and field athletes.[3] The hospital employs over 600 doctors.[3]

The hospital came to media attention in late 2007 when several board members resigned over a change in code of ethics instituted by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, a patron of the hospital. The change was to implement tighter controls on "abortion, contraception and sex-change operations".[4] Later in 2008, the Cardinal ordered the resignation of the remaining board members.[5]
