Queen Mary’s Hospital

Queen Mary's Hospital is a well-established community hospital providing a broad range of NHS healthcare services for patients across South East London and Kent. Managed by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust alongside several NHS healthcare partners, the hospital offers specialist outpatient care, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation services, urgent care, surgical support, mental health services, women’s health, and community-based treatments. Originally founded during the First World War and recognised for pioneering reconstructive surgery led by Sir Harold Gillies, the hospital has evolved into a modern healthcare hub with expanded diagnostic and treatment facilities. Recent developments include the addition of advanced MRI and ultrasound diagnostic services through the Sidcup Community Diagnostic Centre, helping improve access to faster testing and earlier diagnosis for local communities. Queen Mary's Hospital is known for its collaborative approach to healthcare delivery, bringing together multiple NHS providers to offer integrated patient services across areas of ophthalmology, ENT, diabetes care, cancer support, rehabilitation, maternity-related services, musculoskeletal care, and mental health treatment. Patients and visitors frequently recognise the hospital for its accessible, community-focused care and wide variety of specialist services available within a single healthcare campus.
