It’s #WorldHomelessDay and our staff have been raising awareness of the care and support they provide for some of the capital’s most vulnerable people.

Great evening hearing about @MildmayUK past and present commitment to working with stigmatised patient groups. The homeless step down pathway has allowed for our hospitals to safely discharge patients to a supportive environment, preventing a return to the streets, thank you! 👏
