About the Trust
University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust is a dynamic
and thriving group of hospitals in the heart of Bristol, a vibrant
and culturally diverse city.
Our 7,900 staff offer over 100 different clinical services
across nine different sites. With services from the neonatal
intensive care unit to care of the elderly, we offer care to the
people of Bristol and the South West from the very beginning of
life to its later stages. We're one of the country's largest
acute NHS Trusts with a 2008/2009 income of £454 million.
Our staff have developed leading edge services such as cardiac
surgery and bone marrow transplantation that have built an
international reputation and are in demand by patients from across
the country.
With strong links to the University of Bristol and University of
West of England we are the major medical research centre in the
region. The findings allow us to continually improve our patient
care.
Our academic links also make us the largest centre for medical
training in the South West, attracting the highest calibre clinical
staff from across the UK.
We aim to provide healthcare, research and teaching of the very
highest quality. In this section you can find out more about how we
are doing this.
