Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the United Kingdom's thirty-two NHS Foundation Trusts.
The organisation provides healthcare for people in the Sheffield area and surrounding area in South Yorkshire. The trust consists of two main parts.
1) the West Campus, consisting of the Royal Hallamshire Hospital (a large acute hospital) together with its Jessop Wing (for fertility, women's health and care of newborn babies), Weston Park Hospital (a specialist cancer hospital) and the Charles Clifford Dental Hospital, all located between Broomhill and Broomhall in the West End
2) the Northern General Hospital, located in the northern suburbs around Longley, Firth Park, Grimesthorpe and Shiregreen.
Sheffield Children's Hospital is not part of the Foundation Trust.
Besides being a major healthcare services provider, providing over 900,000 appointments and operations each year,[1] the Foundation Trust also provides clinical education for medical students from the University of Sheffield. The Trust uses the Single Transferable Vote voting system to elect its Members' Council.[2]
The Trust and its hospitals have close links with the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University.
