Our purpose

Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Charity funds innovative treatment, equipment and research at our two hospitals, that fall outside of NHS funding. Vital to patients’ lives and wellbeing, our projects make these specialist heart and lung hospitals not only excellent but extraordinary.

Our hospitals are pioneers in treating newborns with heart problems, toddlers affected by asthma, teenagers needing transplants and adults living with cystic fibrosis, to name only a few. These life-threatening conditions could affect any of us.

Our Charity is generously supported by a dedicated group of corporate partners and sponsors. You can read more about our corporate partnerships here.
