We provide a wide range of routine and specialist health services and we aim to deliver world class healthcare to our patients. To do so, we combine world class expertise with leading healthcare that is local, patient-focused and friendly.

Last year our highly skilled healthcare teams provided treatment and care for over a million patients and achieved some of the best clinical outcomes in England. Our mortality rates have been the best among England's hospital trusts for many years. Our goal is to continue excelling and to be in the top 10 per cent in the UK for clinical research, scientific medical research and teaching outcomes.
