King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK's largest and busiest teaching Trusts with a turnover of c£1.8 billion, 1.5 million patient contacts a year and more than 15,000 staff based across 5 main sites in South East London. The Trust provides a full range of local hospital services across its different sites, and specialist services from King's College Hospital (KCH) sites at Denmark Hill in Camberwell and at the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH) site in the London Borough of Bromley.

We encourage all our staff to have a healthy work/life balance. In doing so, you can apply for flexible working from the beginning of your employment. We offer a range of options which are designed to suit different circumstances and priorities in line with service requirements.

The Colorectal Cancer Service KCHFT is provided at both the Denmark Hill and Orpington South Sites which covers a large geographic area covering South East London boroughs of Southwark, Lambeth and Lewisham.

The Colorectal Team at the Princess Royal University Hospital is situated on the Surgical Floor (Level 2, North Wing). The Colorectal Service serves the population of Bromley, which is the largest borough of London. The Colorectal Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) at the PRUH site serves the 300,000+ population of the London Borough of Bromley. In addition, referrals are commonly received from Bexley, Sidcup, Sevenoaks, and Westerham.

Both units combined diagnose in excess of 400 new colorectal (bowel) cancer patients each year. As a part of the National Cancer Strategy, a new pathway for bowel cancer patients has been developed and rolled out across London and England.

Stratified follow-up is a model of aftercare that addresses the unique needs of the individual living after a cancer diagnosis and also empowers individuals to self-manage their health. Implementation of stratified follow-up with a focus on self-management reduces the frequency of hospital based follow-up appointments, and ensures that patients are at the centre of their self-management, by steering individuals onto the best pathway to meet their specific needs.
