We are a centre of excellence

For innovative care and treatment

St Bartholomew’s Hospital is the first in the UK to be named a centre of excellence for theranostics. This highly targeted cancer treatment finds and attacks cancer cells using precise radiation, helping protect healthy parts of the body.

Our neuro-oncology service is one of 14 centres in the UK to be recognised as a Tessa Jowell Centre of Excellence, reflecting outstanding care, treatment and research.

We are also a national centre of excellence for myeloma, reflecting our high quality, personalised care for patients.
