Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust Our mission is to be world class in terms of our healthcare services, clincial research and teaching excellence.

The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust runs three hospitals in London:

• Barnet Hospital

In the 21st century we continue to lead improvements in healthcare, from targeted cancer therapies to new kinds of surgery. We offer an exceptionally wide range of local and specialist services, including cancer, plastic surgery, vascular surgery, blood disorders and infectious diseases and are proud to have some of the best clinical outcomes in the country. In addition to our three main sites, the trust includes a network of clinics provided at other trusts’ hospitals and community sites. Our local catchment area comprises most of the areas covered by Barnet, Camden, Islington and Haringey primary care trusts (PCTs) together with west Enfield and east Brent. Our aim is to be in the top 10% of English hospitals for clinical quality, customer satisfaction, staff satisfaction and financial performance. We want to give patients the best possible care in a safe, clean and welcoming environment.

📣 Help shape the future of Royal Free London membership

We're committed to improving how we engage with our members and enhancing your experience with us.

This year, we're introducing tailored membership engagement surveys for our staff, patient and public members. This new approach will help us better understand the needs, experiences and priorities of each member group.

Your feedback really does make a difference. Following our previous survey, we shared a "You said, we did" update outlining the actions we had taken in response to what members told us. We'll do the same after this year's survey, so you can see how your feedback informs change.

📧 All members will receive the survey by email and it will remain open until Friday 27 November.

Before completing it, we encourage you to read our latest blog from staff governor Annette Heslop, which explains why the survey is so important and how your views can help shape the future of our membership programme: https://ow.ly/ygs350ZSBhC

It was great to see so many people stopping by our kidney cancer information stand at the Royal Free Hospital today.

Patients, visitors and members of the public had the opportunity to speak to our Specialist Kidney Cancer Centre team, ask questions and learn more about kidney cancer, including signs and symptoms to look out for and the support available.

Thank you to the team for sharing their knowledge throughout the day.

Across the Royal Free London, colleagues are taking part in events, discussions and activities celebrating Black history, culture and achievement – from inspiring talks and educational sessions to opportunities to connect, share experiences and celebrate our diverse communities.

We’ll be sharing highlights throughout the month, so keep an eye on our channels.

You said, we did 🍽️

Families told us they wanted more child-friendly meal options for children staying in hospital.
We listened. Following feedback, our paediatric team worked with Medirest to review the food available and introduce a dedicated children’s menu, with a range of meals and lighter options for younger patients.

Families also told us that juice wasn’t always readily available. This has been addressed, and juice is now available at any time.

Feedback helps us understand what matters to children, young people and their families – and where we can make things better.

If you’ve been invited by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to take part in the Children and Young People’s Patient Experience Survey, please have your say by 31 October 2026.
