Our hospitals - our future
The origins of what we know as University Hospitals Bristol NHS
Foundation Trust go back as far as 1737 when The Bristol Royal
Infirmary was founded with the pledges of 78 Bristol citizens who
each gave between two and six guineas to be used 'to benefit the
poor sick'.
Today the Trust operates eight hospitals in the centre and south
of Bristol, we are one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country and
the major teaching and research centre for the South West of
England. We provide general medical and emergency services to the
local population of central and south Bristol, and a broad range of
specialist services across a region that extends from Cornwall to
Gloucestershire, into South Wales and beyond. As a specialist
teaching Trust, we work in strong and dynamic partnership with the
University of Bristol, the University of the West of England and
several other higher education institutions in this country and
abroad.
And what of the future? What challenges do we face as we
continue to strive to deliver exceptional services to the people we
serve?
This event will explore the choices we face and will help inform
the future direction of our hospitals and our Strategic Plan for
the next five years.
