North Bristol Trust
North Bristol NHS Trust is the largest Trust in the South West region, and one of the largest trusts in the country. Last year the Trust treated over 100,000 inpatients, over 350,000 outpatients, 90,000 emergency department patients and helped deliver over 6,000 babies. It employs more than 9,500 staff, has approximately 1,050 inpatient beds and income in excess of £540 million.
The Trust provides medical surgical, neonatal and maternity care for its local population of approximately a million people in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. The Trust also provides regional, regional services in neurosciences, orthopaedics, pathology, plastic surgery and burns, renal medicine and transplant and urology and is the major trauma centre for the West Country.
The health service in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire is being remodelled to concentrate acute facilities and where appropriate to provide more care close to patient homes through a network of community hospitals and facilities. The Trust recently moved the majority of its acute services to tthe Brunel building, regarded as one the most the best hospital facilities in Europe, on the Southmead Hospital site. At Southmead Hospital, we also have our excellent maternity and women’s health services, the Bristol Breast Care Centre and the Trust’s Severn Pathology service.
As well as Southmead Hospital, the Trust also has Cossham Hospital, in Kingswood and the Bristol Centre for Enablement at Cribbs Causeway (Bristol). The Trust also runs children’s community health services across Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
The Trust has University Teaching status and is associated with both the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England.
