Guy’s and St Thomas’ is among the UK’s busiest and most successful NHS foundation trusts. We provide a full range of hospital and community services for people in south London and as well as specialist care for patients from further afield including cancer, renal, orthopaedic, respiratory and cardiovascular services.
Guy’s is home to the largest dental school in Europe and a £160 million Cancer Centre opened in 2016. As part of our commitment to provide care closer to home, in 2017 we also opened a cancer centre and a kidney treatment centre at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup. St Thomas’ has one of the largest critical care units in the UK and one of the busiest emergency departments in London. It is also home to Evelina London Children’s Hospital.
Evelina London cares for local children in Lambeth and Southwark and provides specialist services across south east England including cardiac, renal and critical care services. We lead a number of specialist service networks aiming to ensure children are treated locally where possible, but have access to specialist expertise when they need it. Our community services include health visiting, school nursing and support for families of children with long-term conditions.
Our adult community services teams deliver care at the heart of the local communities we serve, working in partnership with GPs, local authorities and other healthcare and voluntary sector organisations. Working with our partners in Lambeth and Southwark, we are focusing on new ways of working to improve care for local patients.
In February 2021 the Royal Brompton and Harefield joined Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, bringing together world-leading expertise in the care and research of heart and lung disease. Our merger provides a once in a generation opportunity to build a lasting, world-renowned heart and lung centre, providing the highest quality care for patients and conducting world-leading research.
We have a reputation for clinical excellence and high quality teaching and research. We are part of King’s Health Partners, one of eight accredited UK academic health sciences centres. In partnership with King’s College London we have dedicated clinical research facilities including an MHRA accredited Phase I clinical trials unit.
Patients are at the heart of everything we do and we pride ourselves on ensuring the best possible patient experience as well as safe, high quality care. We are proud to have one of the lowest mortality rates in the NHS. Following a comprehensive Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection in 2019 we maintained our overall rating of ‘good’. Our adult community services achieved a rating of ‘outstanding’.
The commitment of our 23,500 staff is key to our success. We are one of the largest local employers and we aim to develop and support all our staff so they are able to deliver high quality, safe and efficient care. The 2019 NHS staff survey results show that we have one of the most engaged and motivated workforces in the NHS. We know this has a positive impact on the care provided to our patients.
We have one of the most ambitious capital investment programmes anywhere in the NHS.

The NHS Respiratory Metagenomics Programme aims to introduce clinical metagenomic services in the NHS, with implementation underway in a growing national Network of up to 30 NHS Trusts by 2028. Essential to these efforts is the collection of multi-site evidence to continuously evolve the quality of service provision to support long term commissioning in the NHS. A multi-faceted evaluation is being undertaken as part of the programme, including multi-site observational studies and a health economic review.
The Data Analyst will be a core member of the evaluation team, working with senior leadership to shape the analytical strategy and generate insights from large-scale genomic and health data. They will provide insights to support decision making across a national network of laboratories and hospitals. The ideal candidate will have an interest and background in the subject area and a strong track record in producing understandable outputs and communicating clear, data driven insights.

The analyst will be responsible for using advanced analytical techniques to inform service and technology evaluation, and future commissioning of the service. This includes defining dataset requirements, designing collection and driving access, and implementing analytical solutions, including development and maintenance of code, to direct data driven decisions and to support a robust evaluation of the implementation, effectiveness, utility and benefits of metagenomics in microbiology services . They will work with complex clinical data across a range of EHR/LIMS systems across the network to generate datasets and monitor agreed evaluation metrics over time against programme milestones. The analyst will liaise with a range of clinical, scientific and operational colleagues within the programme team and across the UK, including NHS, UKHSA and academic partners. Additional responsibilities will include collating data submissions, data cleansing and validation to improve the quality, and presenting performance dashboards.

NHS Respiratory Metagenomics Programme
The NHS Respiratory Metagenomics Programme has been commissioned by NHS England and the government’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology to revolutionise the diagnosis and surveillance of infectious disease in the UK through cutting edge genomic technology. The programme is a partnership between the NHS, UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) to embed pathogen agnostic metagenomic testing in NHS microbiology labs and ICUs by 2029. This cutting edge clinical service aims to provide same day clinical detection to improve outcomes for patients through accelerated diagnostics and personalised interventions, as well as providing real-time data signals to UKHSA to support emerging efforts in national surveillance through metagenomics. Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust is leading this national programme on behalf of the NHS, implementing the initial use case in respiratory infection and leading on translational research efforts with the potential to scale across multiple clinical settings. The programme serves as a test bed for the accelerated adoption of innovation in healthcare and a proof of concept in the use of a clinical diagnostic backbone in an ‘always on’ real-time UK pathogen surveillance system, with the potential to contribute to national and international solutions to emerging issues of biosecurity.
