Around 18,000 staff work at Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield Hospital, Leicester General Hospital, seven community sites and increasingly in patients' homes and virtual-care settings.
The trust provides comprehensive emergency, maternity, children's, medical and surgical care, alongside national expertise in heart, lung, kidney and transplant medicine that serves more than two million people. It is one of England's most research-active trusts, hosting a Biomedical Research Centre, the Leicester Diabetes Centre and Hope Cancer Trials Centre. Partnerships with the universities of Leicester, De Montfort and Loughborough support research and education, while a formal group arrangement with University Hospitals of Northamptonshire enables wider collaboration.
