St Mark's Academic Institute

St Mark’s Academic Institute is the centre of education and research at St Mark’s Hospital – the first and only specialist bowel hospital in the UK, a world‑leading centre for the treatment, research and teaching of complex bowel diseases. It's part of the St Mark’s Hospital Foundation (registered charity number 1140930). We are dedicated to research, education and dissemination of best practice in the field of bowel disease.

St Mark’s Hospital Foundation supports the vital work of St Mark’s Hospital. With nearly 200 years of accumulated expertise, we have built an unrivalled reputation for pioneering clinical practice and improving outcomes for patients across the UK and internationally.

We receive no government funding, so every breakthrough, every innovation and every improvement in patient care is made possible through voluntary donations from supporters, patients, families and partners.
