United Hospitals

United Hospitals is the collective name for the medical schools in London, all of which are part of the University of London (UL), except for Imperial College School of Medicine. The original United Hospitals referred to Guy's Hospital and St Thomas's Hospital before 1769. Today, the name is used to refer to the London medical schools.

The United Hospitals are actively involved in inter-collegiate UL competitions as well as sporting and comedy events against each other. They also occasionally participate as a united team.

The current members of the United Hospitals are:

- King's College London School of Medicine and Dentistry (GKT) affiliated with Guy's Hospital, King's College Hospital, and St Thomas's Hospital. - Imperial College School of Medicine (ICSM) affiliated with Charing Cross Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, St Mary's Hospital, and Hammersmith Hospital. - Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry (BL) affiliated with St Bartholomew's Hospital, Royal London Hospital, Newham University Hospital, Whipps Cross University Hospital, Mile End Hospital, and Homerton University Hospital. - UCL Medical School (RUMS) affiliated with University College Hospital, The Royal Free Hospital, and The Whittington Hospital. - St George's, University of London (SGUL) affiliated with St George's Hospital, St Helier Hospital, Epsom Hospital, and Kingston Hospital.

The United Hospitals also distribute the Medical Student Newspaper to their members, with the editorial team consisting of students from each school. The Royal Veterinary College is included in the United Hospitals for sporting events, and the Royal Dental Hospital School of Dentistry was also included until the early 1980s. The members of the United Hospitals contribute to the Saving Londoners' Lives project by sending medical students to provide emergency life support skills training in schools.

The original 13 United Hospitals of London included Charing Cross Hospital Medical School, Westminster Hospital Medical School, St Mary's Hospital Medical School, Royal Postgraduate Medical School, St George's Hospital Medical School, St Thomas's Hospital Medical School, Guy's Hospital Medical School, King's College Medical School, and Middlesex Hospital Medical School.
