South London Healthcare NHS Trust was a British National Health Service trust which ran three hospitals in south east London. It was dissolved on 1 October 2013 after going into administration.
South London Healthcare NHS Trust was formed in 2009 by amalgamating three small trusts (Queen Mary's Sidcup NHS Trust, Queen Elizabeth Hospital NHS Trust and Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust), each of which was losing money.
