Giving to Medicine

In 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming brought the world antibiotics with the discovery of penicillin in his laboratory at St Mary’s Hospital. Today, our findings continue to expand the universal knowledge of medicine. Each day, our cutting-edge research influences best practice in medicine as our discoveries translate from bench to bedside.

Thousands of the brightest medical minds have trained at our facilities across west London. From the first students at Westminster hospital in 1700’s to our current cohort, equipping the next generation of physicians with the skills and techniques needed is among our most important work, as it ensures the best outcomes for patients.

With governmental support waning, academic fees rising, and the costs of recruiting and retaining talent higher than ever, philanthropic support is one of the soundest means to bridge the funding gap without compromising excellence. Investment in people, programmes, and infrastructure is needed to ensure Imperial maintains its position as one of the world’s leading medical training and research institutions.
