Trac proudly powers the recruitment for
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
About
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust was created on October 1, 2007 by merging St Mary’s NHS Trust and Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust and integrating with the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London. Now one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country, we have come together with the College to establish one of the UK’s first Academic Health Science Centres (AHSCs).
The creation of the AHSC is a major advance for patient care, clinical teaching and scientific invention and innovation. The fusion of the different strands of our work and the achievements that can now be realised will lead to significant benefits for patients and greater advances in healthcare than we could have delivered apart.
