Why Choose Us?

We know how important it is to our patients and their families to know that when they have to come into one of our hospitals they are going to receive the best possible care, be safe and cared for in a clean, welcoming and infection free environment.

That is why we are continually improving the way we do things here at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. 

It is this commitment to excellence that has lead to us being rated 'excellent’ for the quality of services and our financial management for the past three years by the Healthcare Commission's Annual Health Check.

In this healthcheck we were placed in the top 10% of UK hospitals and also in recognition of our excellent clinical outcomes, including the success of operations and rigorous infection control,  we have also been  named ‘Trust of the Year’ by healthcare watchdog Dr Foster in 2005 and 2008.
