:United Hospitals

United Hospitals is the historical collective name of the medical schools of London. They are all part of the University of London (UL) with the exception of Imperial College School of Medicine which left in 2007. The original United Hospitals referred to Guy's Hospital and St Thomas's Hospital and their relationship prior to 1769.{{cite book |last1=Rivett |first1=Geoffrey |title=The Development of the London Hospital System 1823-2015 |url=http://www.nhshistory.net/hospitals_and_medical_education.htm |access-date=11 March 2020}} Since then the name has been adopted by the London medical schools.

In addition to inter-collegiate UL competitions, which include all UL colleges, the United Hospitals are engaged in an active series of sporting, and even comedy events against each other, and also at times as a united team.

Medical Student Newspaper is also distributed to the five members, with the editorial team being made up of students from each school. For the purposes of sporting events, the Royal Veterinary College is included in the United Hospitals, as was – until the demise of both hospital and school in the early 1980s – the Royal Dental Hospital School of Dentistry. The five members also contribute to the Saving Londoners' Lives project, sending medical students to deliver emergency life support skills training in schools.
