About St Helier Hospital
St Helier Hospital in the London Borough of Merton and London Borough of Sutton is run by Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust along with Epsom Hospital.
The hospital offers a full range of hospital services including a 24-hour accident and emergency department. The site is also home to the South West Renal and Transplantation Service and the Queen Mary's Hospital for Children, a dedicated children's hospital. St Helier Hospital is a major teaching hospital for St George's, University of London, and is the second main teaching site for the clinical years of the medicine degrees outside of St George's Hospital.
As part of the Better Services Better Value Review of NHS services in London it was proposed to downgrade the maternity and Accident and Emergency Departments. However, it appeared in December 2013 that at least some local GPs were not in favour of this.
The hospital was painted green during the Second World War to protect it from the German bombers; many bombs landed on the surrounding areas including an unexploding one on top of the gasometers 1 /2 mile away.
