Patient choice

Did you know that you can choose what hospital you are referred to?

NHS patients in England can choose where and when they have hospital treatment. If you need specialist treatment, you have the right to choose between at least four hospitals or clinics. Homerton University Hospital aims to deliver excellence in everything we do.

Being one of the first NHS foundation trusts in the country, you can choose to come to Homerton from anywhere in England.
