About us South West London and St George's Mental Health Trust was formed in 1998. Springfield University Hospital in Tooting is the largest site from which the Trust operates and has provided mental health services since 1841. It provides a range of mental health, learning disability and substance misuse services. The Trust was originally known as the Pathfinder NHS Trust in 1994 and provided services for Wandsworth and Merton. In subsequent years its strategy was to grow and to become the main statutory provider of mental health services for South West London. The Trust took on Putney and Roehampton services in 1998, Sutton Mental Health Services in 1999, and Kingston and Richmond services in 2001 as the former health authorities were disbanded and primary care trusts were established. The different histories of services in different boroughs are still reflected in service models, cultures and partnership arrangements but a recent move to Service Lines has enabled more homogeneity across the five London Boroughs the Trust now covers. The Trust now provides mental health services to five London Boroughs: Wandsworth, Merton, Sutton, Kingston and Richmond.
