About The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust

The Royal Marsden is a world-leading cancer centre specialising in cancer diagnosis, treatment, research and education. We have two hospitals: one in Chelsea, London, and another in Sutton, Surrey. Also in Surrey, we have a Medical Daycare Unit in Kingston. We are also partners with The Institute of Cancer Research. Through this partnership, we undertake groundbreaking research into new cancer drug therapies and treatments. The partnership makes us the biggest and most comprehensive cancer centre in Europe, with a combined staff of 3,500. The Royal Marsden was founded in 1851 by William Marsden. His vision was to create a pioneering cancer hospital dedicated to excellence in the study, treatment and care of people with cancer. Today we continue to build on this legacy, constantly raising standards to improve the lives of the 40,000 cancer patients from across the UK and abroad that we see each year.
