Bone & Joint Health

We are the largest and busiest orthopaedic department in the country. Our clinical care is based across three hospitals: The Royal London, Whipps Cross University Hospital and the Barts Health Orthopaedic Centre in Newham.

Our purpose is simple: to improve the health and wellbeing of people with bone & joint disorders and injuries. We focus on conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and tendons.
