Royal Free Hospital — Anaesthetic Training

The Royal Free Hospital is one of 3 sites within the same Trust – along with Barnet and Chase Farm. It is the North London tertiary Vascular and Upper Renal Tract Cancer Centre with a specialist complex endovascular service and one of the largest nephrectomy services including robotics. There is a major renal service to support this including transplantation. It is one of 2 centres in London for adult liver transplants with major hepatopancreatobiliary services in support. It has a large and expanding interventional radiology service.
The hospital is a major centre for plastic surgery with particular strengths in regional anaesthesia. The busy ITU is highly specialist and also provides cover for a national specialist infectious diseases service.
