History
The London Homoeopathic Hospital was established in Golden Square, Soho, in 1849. Frederic Hervey Foster Quin, the first homeopathic physician in England, had been instrumental in the founding of the hospital. It moved to its present site in Great Ormond Street in 1859, the year when Quin took the chair of therapeutics and materia medica in the medical school. In 1948 the hospital joined the NHS as a teaching hospital and became the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital by permission of George VI. In 1982 the hospital was brought under the management of the Bloomsbury Health Authority and in 2002 it joined University College London Hospitals NHS Trust (now University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust). The hospital was renamed the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine in September 2010 to better reflect its activities.
