About Guy's and St Thomas' Sleep Disorders Centre

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS trusts in the United Kingdom, providing comprehensive sleep medicine services across multiple hospital sites in central London. The Trust combines the historic expertise of Guy's Hospital (founded 1721) and St Thomas' Hospital (founded 1173) with cutting-edge medical technology.

Following the merger with Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust in 2021, the combined organisation now operates Europe's largest sleep and ventilation service, offering unparalleled expertise in sleep disorders, respiratory medicine, and home ventilation.

The Trust is part of King's Health Partners, an Academic Health Sciences Centre bringing together world-class research, education, and clinical practice. This partnership with King's College London ensures patients benefit from the latest advances in sleep medicine research.

Services are provided at both Guy's Hospital (London Bridge) and St Thomas' Hospital (Westminster), with specialist respiratory and sleep services at Royal Brompton Hospital (Chelsea). Both NHS and private patient pathways are available.
