Based in the North East of England they provide a range of health services from our leading facilities including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Dunston Hill Day Hospital, QE Metro Riverside and Bensham Hospital, all within Gateshead.
They also run a range of services from Blaydon Primary Care Centre and Washington Primary Care Centre, as well as a specialist unit in Houghton-le-Spring for patients who require rehabilitation care.
Established in 2005, they were one of the first foundation trusts in the country and since then have consistently achieved the highest levels of care for patients.
They employ around 3,400 staff and currently provide 580 hospital beds across Gateshead. Their primary focus is on providing excellent general health services to our local community complemented by key specialist areas including Gynaecology, maternity, palliative care and old age psychiatry.
Alongside a full range of local hospital services, they provide breast screening services for Gateshead, South Tyneside, Sunderland and parts of Durham – and we are the North Eastern hub for the National Bowel Cancer and AAA Screening Programmes, covering a population of around seven million people.
They provide cutting edge care from some of our state-of-the-art facilities including a £32m Emergency Care Centre, a £12m Pathology centre of excellence and the beautifully-designed Peter Smith surgery centre.
Their maternity services are rated among the very best in the country and our work treating gynaecological cancers has built up a national and international reputation. We also run the Gateshead Fertility Centre, one of the top ten IVF clinics in the country which has created hundreds of new families in the North East over the last decade.
