Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust manages five major hospitals in Sheffield - the Northern General, Royal Hallamshire, Jessop Wing, Weston Park and Charles Clifford hospitals.

As a trust, we are responsible for the planning and delivery of the highest quality patient care and provide services for patients from not only Sheffield and South Yorkshire but all parts of the UK. We have an annual budget of around £620 million, employ over 13,000 staff and provide around one million patient episodes each year, making us the second largest NHS Trust in England.

As well as providing hospital services for our local population, our hospitals provide a range of vital regional and national specialities. Regionally these include cardiac and orthopaedic surgery, neurology and renal care. National services include pulmonary hypertension treatment, particular ophthalmology, spinal and neurosurgical care, and specialist cancer treatments.

Last year we provided around 747,000 outpatient appointments, 170,000 inpatient or day case procedures and cared for almost 100,000 emergency attendances.

We have been one of the best performing NHS organisations in the country over the last five years. We are also proud of our record as having one of the lowest mortality rates in the country and some of the lowest hospital infection rates amongst major teaching hospitals in the UK. The hospitals were one of just six trusts to be shortlisted for ‘Hospital of the Year’ in the independently produced annual Good Hospital Guide in 2004.

We also have a strong tradition of research and the trust leads on a number of key studies including prostate cancer, diabetes, breast cancer and chronic chest disease.

An NHS Foundation Trust

We became one of the first NHS Foundation Trusts in the country on July 1st 2004. NHS foundation trusts have greater freedom from central government control and the ability to work with their community and staff to set local health priorities. We now have an elected governors council – made up of patients, public, staff and partner organisations - working with the trust and helping set strategic goals and make key decisions.

Our Hospitals Although the trust has overall management responsibility for the services provided, our hospitals each have their own history, which we are rightly proud of. Between them they offer just about every kind of service available in the modern NHS.

The Northern General is the largest of our hospitals with 1100 beds. Located to the north of the city, the hospital is spread out over a large site. Amongst the specialist services located there are orthopaedics, spinal injuries, general surgery and cardiothoracic (heart and lung) services. Sheffield’s adult accident & emergency department is also based here. It has a large medicine department and a major £30 million new ward development - to be known as the Hadfield Wing - is being constructed at the moment to replace the oldest medical wards on the site.

The other Trust hospitals are based closely together on a campus to the west of the city centre. This is known as the Central Campus.p> The Royal Hallamshire is a major acute teaching hospital based around a ‘tower block’ of 760 beds and a large outpatient department. The hospital is home to a range of expert specialist services which include neurosciences, urology, general surgery, breast surgery, dermatology, hearing services and ophthalmology. The hospital also has a minor injuries unit and an NHS Walk-In-Centre for emergency care.

Linked to the Royal Hallamshire by a footbridge, the Jessop Wing is Sheffield’s 260 bed women’s hospital. Opened in February 2001 it has brought together all of the city’s obstetric, gynaecology and neonatology services in a state-of-the-art, purpose built, £24 million building. 6000 births take place at the Jessop Wing each year.

Weston Park is one of only three purpose built specialist cancer hospitals in the UK and provides a full range of non-surgical cancer services to the population of South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire and North Derbyshire. It also enjoys national and international recognition for certain specific treatments. It has 112 beds and is home to a specialist cancer research centre and one of the UK’s only teenage cancer units.

The Charles Clifford is a dental teaching hospital linked to the Sheffield University School of Clinical Dentistry. The hospital provides dental outpatient services and emergency dental services for the city.

As a teaching trust, all of the hospitals have close links to the University of Sheffield, home to Sheffield’s medical school, and Sheffield Hallam University - which provides nurse training. It is a major teaching centre for future health professionals.
