History

History of the Hospital
The Hospital of St John amp St Elizabeth is the UKs premier Catholic Hospital Founded in 1856 by the Sisters of Mercy an order of nuns who worked with Florence Nightingale in the Crimean war the Hospital pioneered the use of advanced nursing techniques to help the sick the dying and the needy in the local community

Now nearly 150 years later the nuns have gone but their ethos remains at the heart of what is regarded as a unique London hospital Although it is an innovative private hospital it is also a registered charity Nowhere else does the work of a private hospital invest in supporting charitable services in the way that John and Lizzies does

St Johns Hospice is the main beneficiary of The Hospital of St John amp St Elizabeth In addition to providing financial support our relationship with the Hospital is crucial to the unique model of care we are able to provide our patients All of our Xrays Pathology and Pharmacy are delivered on site enabling us to offer a less stressful experience for our patients and an immediacy of care that could not happen in most other hospices The aim of both institutions is the same now as it was over 150 years ago to provide the highest quality health care for all those who seek it
