The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK's largest and busiest teaching trusts, with around 16,500 staff and approximately two million patient contacts each year. Its principal hospitals are the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Freeman Hospital and Newcastle Dental Hospital, complemented by urgent-treatment, fertility, genetics, cancer and community services.
Alongside comprehensive care for Newcastle and the North East, the trust is among England's largest providers of specialised services. It treats rare and complex medical, surgical, neurological, genetic and cancer conditions, with major cardiothoracic, transplantation and children's services. A close partnership with Newcastle University underpins extensive clinical research, education and diagnostic innovation, helping translate scientific discoveries into new treatments for regional, national and international patients.
