Clinical Fellow ST| North NHS Trust

North Bristol NHS Trust is the largest Trust in the South West region and one of the largest trusts in the country. Last year the Trust treated over 100,000 inpatients, over 35,000 outpatients, 90,000 emergency department patients and helped deliver over 6,000 babies. It employs more than 9,500 staff, has approximately 1,050 inpatient beds and income in excess of £540 million (2015‑2016).

The Trust provides Medical, Surgical, Neonatal and Maternity Care for its local population of approximately a million people in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. In addition it supplies sub‑regional, regional and supra‑regional services in Neurosciences, Orthopaedics, Pathology, Plastic Surgery and Burns, Renal Medicine and Transplant and Urology, and is the Major Trauma Centre for the West Country.

The health service in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire is being remodelled to concentrate on acute facilities and, where appropriate, to provide more care close to patient homes through a network of community hospitals and facilities. The Trust currently delivers these services from a new hospital on the Southmead site that opened in May 2014. At Southmead Hospital we also have excellent maternity and women’s health services, the Bristol Breast Care Centre and the Trust’s Severn Pathology Service.

The Trust has University Teaching status and is associated with both the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England.
