All modalities of organ support are available.

There are 41 level‑3 beds in the East Wing (15 on EW1 ICU, 15 on EW2 ICU and 11 on EW6 ICU), an overnight intensive recovery unit (11 level‑3 beds staffed by anaesthetists), a medical/surgical HDU on East Wing level 10 (15 level‑2 beds) and cardiovascular surgical HDU (5 level‑2 beds) on East Wing level 8.

At the Guy’s site, there are 13 level‑2/3 beds on the Guy’s Critical Care Unit (GCCU).
