We employ around 18,000 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 specialties.

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. We have been one of the best performing NHS organisations in the country over the last five years including winning the title of 'Hospital Trust of the Year' in the Good Hospital Guide three times.

The Trust has strong partnerships with the University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and other healthcare providers to remain at the forefront of clinical sciences, teaching and research. The Northern General is the largest of our hospitals located to the north of the city, the hospital is spread out over a large site. Amongst the specialist services located there are orthopaedics, renal, spinal injuries and cardiothoracic (heart and lung) services.

The Royal Hallamshire is a major acute teaching hospital based around a tower block of 800 beds and a large outpatient department. The hospital is home to a range of expert specialist services which include a dedicated neurosciences department, the Sheffield Vision Centre, specialist Haematology centre and award winning Gastroenterology department.
