We're on a learning journey. Following the merger of our clinical coding services across Guy’s, St Thomas’, Royal Brompton and Harefield, we’re building a new kind of service—one that’s not just about assigning codes, but about improving patient care through our Data Hub, which unites operational and research data in a modern digital landscape.

This isn’t just a managerial post—it’s a chance to help shape the department’s future.
