Guy’s Hospital is located by The Shard in central London, making it convenient for patients to visit, as well as having neighbouring Borough Market, South Bank and Tate Modern to explore.
Established in the 1720s, Guy’s Hospital has grown vastly in size, including our 34-storey Tower Wing that is the site of many of our dedicated clinical research facilities.
Guy’s Hospital is home to several notable innovations, including the invention of tissue typing – now crucial for successful organ transplantation.
Our Assisted Conception Unit is internationally renowned as an innovator in fertility treatments. Our experts continuously drive this field of medicine forward, from advancing in-vitro fertilisation techniques to pre-implantation genetic testing.
St John’s Institute of Dermatology, established in 1863, is one of the leading centres for skin care and the largest dermatology department in the UK.
We’re also nationally recognised for our expertise in kidney transplantation and are leaders in the field of shared haemodialysis care and home dialysis.
Guy’s has been ranked as one of the world’s best for gynaecology, obstetrics and urology by US Newsweek, the American weekly news magazine.
