I trained at 'Guy's Hospital Medical and Dental School' in London in the 1970s. It was possibly one of the most famous medical schools in the world.
The hospital was founded in 1721 after a split from St. Thomas's. In 1982 the medical schools combined to be known as 'the United Medical Schools of Guy's and St. Thomas's'.
In 1998 Kings got in on the act and the entity became known as 'GKT' - Guy's, Kings, Thomas's.
However, in March 2009 the government set up so-called 'Academic Health Sciences Centres' and the Guy's entity was subsumed and is now 'Kings Health Partners'
Adding insult to injury - the Guy's name having gone with respect to medical education - the main Kings College website has a picture of the Colonade on it's home page!
So, RIP 'Guy's Hospital Medical and Dental School'. It was a pleasure studying there and, once qualified, working and living there.
