It employs more than 9,500 staff, has approximately 1,050 inpatient beds and income in excess of £540 million (2015-2016).

The Trust provides Medical, Surgical, Neonatal and Maternity Care for its local population of approximately a million people in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. The Trust also provides sub regional, regional and supra regional services in Neurosciences, Orthopaedics, Pathology, Plastic Surgery and Burns, Renal Medicine and Transplant and Urology and is the Major Trauma Centre for the West Country.

The health service in Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire is being remodelled to concentrate on acute facilities and where appropriate to provide more care close to patient homes through a network community hospitals and facilities. The Trust currently delivers these services from a new hospital on the Southmead site that opened in May 2014. At Southmead Hospital, we also have our excellent maternity and women’s health services, the Bristol Breast Care Centre and the Trust’s Severn Pathology Service.

The Trust has University Teaching status and is associated with both the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England.

NBT Cares. It’s a very simple statement; one which epitomises how everybody across our organisation goes the extra mile to ensure our patients get the best possible care.

NBT Cares is also an acronym, standing for caring, ambitious, respectful and supportive – our organisational values.

And our NBT Cares values are underpinned by our positive behaviours framework – a framework that provides clear guidance on how colleagues can work with one another in a constructive and supportive way.
