About Us
Across our teaching hospitals in Southmead and Frenchay and our local community work through school nurses, health visitors and therapists, we deliver exceptional healthcare which is welcoming, open and honest. We are also a specialist regional centre for neurosciences, plastics and burns, orthopaedics and renal services. In 2014, we will open our new, state of the art hospital – full details can be found on our new hospital website at http://www.superhospitalforbristol.nhs.uk/
We’re proud to be the largest teaching hospital trust in the South West with links to the University of Bristol, University of Bath and the University of the West of England and a reputation for offering our staff the best learning and research opportunities – we currently have around 500 staff involved in 400 separate projects. These initiatives not only benefit the people working in our Trust, but also enhance the care and services we offer our patients. Already 93% of our patients are very happy with the care they receive from us – every year over 6,000 of them take the trouble to write to us with thanks for the care and attention they received.
In brief, our aim at North Bristol NHS Trust is to deliver exceptional healthcare for all our patients and carers by:
- Improving patient experience and safety
- Making significant progress towards no waits/delays
- Preparing for the new hospital at Southmead in 2014
- Being a great place to work
- Focusing on building a strong, healthy and viable organisation
