St Georges University
St George’s University was opened in Lanesborough House at Hyde Park Corner, and the institution has been training medical students since then. Formal registration of apprentice doctors started in 1751. Lanesborough House had originally been built in 1719 by the 2nd Viscount Lanesborough, in what was then open countryside at the site of Hyde Park Corner. The new St George’s Hospital was arranged on three floors and accomodated 30 patients in two wards, one for men and one for women.
In 1981, medical education in London was reorganised to take account, among other factors, of the movement of population away from central London. There are now fewer, larger medical schools, and the expansion of St George’s Hospital Medical School has been part of this policy. In 2000, the Medical School introduced the MBBS Graduate Entry Programme (GEP), a four-year fast-track medical degree course open to graduates in any discipline.
