Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital NHS Trust

The Trust was established in 1995 and we are one of the busiest university teaching hospital trusts in North West England. We manage three hospitals based on two sites: the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and Broadgreen Hospital. Our hospitals have often been at the forefront of medical breakthroughs during our long history in the heart of the city. We are the major adult university teaching hospitals trust for Merseyside and Cheshire. We have significant relationships with all the universities in Liverpool, but in particular the University of Liverpool’s medical and clinical schools and Liverpool John Moores University with regard to the training of nurses. As well as being the host organisation for the North West Coast Comprehensive Research Network, we are also a centre for clinical research and lead teaching and training for a variety of health professions. We have a dedicated Clinical Research Unit that is accredited by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to perform first in human clinical trials. In collaboration with the University of Liverpool, we also have the only National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funded Biomedical Research Unit in the UK, which is dedicated to pancreatic disease. We provide general hospital services to the adult population of Liverpool. We also provide a comprehensive range of specialist services to 750,000 people each year within a total catchment population of more than two million people in Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales, the Isle of Man and beyond.
