The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is a specialist cancer hospital providing diagnosis, treatment and supportive care from sites in Chelsea and Sutton, with additional outpatient activity in central London. Founded in 1851 as the world's first hospital dedicated to cancer, it now treats tens of thousands of NHS and private patients from across the UK and overseas.
Its multidisciplinary services cover adult, teenage, young-adult and children's cancers, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and personalised therapies. A longstanding partnership with The Institute of Cancer Research creates one of Europe's most comprehensive cancer centres, linking laboratory science directly with clinical trials and treatment. The trust's specialist nursing, rehabilitation, psychological and palliative services support patients throughout diagnosis, active treatment and life beyond cancer.
