About us

Barts and The London HPB Centre is based at The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, East London.

Leading specialists
The high concentration of complex cases that we see means that we have some of Britain’s leading specialists on our team and their expertise benefits all of our patients. Our teaching hospital status means that we have a higher proportion of doctors and nurses to patients than non-teaching hospitals.

Advanced treatments and technology
Our internationally recognised experts have been instrumental in the development of highly innovative treatments for HPB diseases and, as a result, the Barts and The London HPB Centre uses the most advanced treatments and facilities to treat our patients. Our leading-edge expertise produces some of the best results in the world.

International reputation for excellence in research
The centre maintains strong links with the Institute of Cancer based at the Charterhouse Square site and we are continually pushing the boundaries of medical research to ensure that we are able to provide the most advanced and successful diagnostic and treatment technologies.

Expert support
We provide high quality treatment throughout the entire period of care and ensure that patients and their carers are kept fully informed at each stage. Our patients experience a multi-disciplinary and seamless approach to their care – receiving medical and surgical treatment, alongside high quality nursing care and therapeutic support.
