About Us

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals is the UK’s largest NHS Foundation Trust and one one of the largest and busiest teaching hospitals. We have over 13,500 staff caring for over a million patients each year at our five hospitals:

  • The Royal Hallamshire Hospital
  • The Northern General Hospital
  • Charles Clifford Dental Hospital
  • Weston Park Cancer Hospital
  • Jessop Wing Maternity Hospital

We offer a full range of local hospital services for people in Sheffield as well as specialist services to patients from further afield. The Trust is recognised internationally for its work in neurosciences, spinal injuries, cancer, transplantation, neurosciences and orthopaedics. We are one of only a handful of hospital Trusts to have been awarded the highest rating of 'excellent' for both the quality of our services and our financial management, three years running. We are proud to be one of the top 20% of NHS Trusts for patient satisfaction.

We also play a key role in the training and education of medical, nursing and dental students with our academic partners, including the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam.

The Trust has been awarded the title of ‘Hospital Trust of the Year’ in the Good Hospital Guide twice in three years and is a recognised leader in medical research for bone, cardiac, neurosciences and long term conditions such as diabetes and lung disease.

As a NHS Foundation Trust we have more freedom to develop our services for the benefit of patients and give people a much greater say in how we do this.
