UCLH, situated in the heart of London, is one of the largest NHS trusts in the United Kingdom and provides first-class acute and specialist services in six hospitals.

Their mission is to deliver top-quality patient care, excellent education and world-class research. 
 
In December 2006, in partnership with University College London (UCL) the Trust became one of the country’s five comprehensive biomedical research centres. They are a member of UCL Partners which brings together five of Britain's world-renowned medical research centres and hospitals: UCL; Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust; Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust; the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust; and UCLH. UCL Partners was officially designated as one of the UK’s first academic health science centres by the UK Department of Health in March 2009.
