We’re pleased to share that all hospitals that make up adult and children’s services across Guy’s and St Thomas’ Specialist Care have been ranked as some of the world’s best for 2025 by Newsweek, the American weekly news magazine.

Its 2025 list of ‘World’s Best Specialized Hospitals’ is based on a global survey of tens of thousands medical professionals worldwide. The list is released annually and covers multiple areas of medicine, ranking international hospitals by specialism, based on the global survey results.

We’re very proud that Royal Brompton Hospital has been ranked 5th in pulmonology, 8th in cardiology, and 14th in cardiac surgery. St Thomas’, Guys and Harefield hospitals were also commended in the cardiology category, with Harefield receiving recognition for cardiac surgery too.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals were commended in both the obstetrics and gynaecology, urology and endocrinology rankings, while St Thomas’ Hospital received further recognition in the gastroenterology and neurology categories.

We are also delighted that the incredible team at Evelina London Children’s Hospital has been recognised in the paediatric hospitals category for the outstanding care they provide to our young patients and their families.

Finally, Guy’s, Royal Brompton and St Thomas’ hospitals were ranked as some of the ‘World’s Best Smart Hospitals’ for the use of technological innovation in care. This includes advances in the use of robotics, imaging and artificial intelligence.
