We have merged
University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation
Trust (UHBW) was formed on 1 April 2020 following the merger of
University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust and Weston Area
Health NHS Trust.
Bringing together a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff, the
new Trust delivers over 100 different clinical services across 10
different sites serving a core population of more than 500,000
people.
With services from the neonatal intensive care unit to care of
the elderly, we provide care to the people of Bristol, Weston and
the south west from the very beginning of life to its later
stages.
Our staff are the lifeblood of our Trust. They provide general
diagnostic, medical and surgical services to the populations of
central Bristol, south Bristol and North Somerset. These services
are delivered from our Bristol city centre campus and Weston
General Hospital with some services delivered in community settings
such as South Bristol Community Hospital.
We also provide specialist services such as children's services,
cardiac and cancer services, and other smaller specialist services
that are nationally commissioned, to a wider population through the
south west and beyond.
Joining together as one provides us with an exciting and unique
opportunity to take everything that's good about Weston and UH
Bristol, to create something even better, which is seen as a beacon
for outstanding education, research and innovation.
