University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust

University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust is a group of 10 hospitals. Our staff are the lifeblood of the Trust.

University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust is a dynamic and thriving group of hospitals in the heart of Bristol and Weston-super-Mare. The Trust was created when University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust merged with Weston Area Health NHS Trust in April 2020. The organisations have had a formal partnership since May 2017, bringing benefits for patients and staff by combining our skills and resources. This combined workforce of around 13,000 staff deliver over 100 different clinical services across ten different sites. We provide specialist services while remaining at the heart of the community, delivery the best quality treatment for patients in the South West and beyond. They deliver general diagnostic, medical and surgical services to the populations of central and South Bristol and North Somerset, as well as specialism such as children’s services, cardiac and cancer services, and other smaller specialities which are nationally commissioned. The merged organisation has given the Trust the opportunity to create something new, by taking everything that’s good about Weston Area Health NHS Trust and everything that’s good about UH Bristol to create something even better, with a greater purpose.

Our Story

When University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust merged with Weston Area Health NHS Trust in April 2020, the newly formed organisation created the opportunity to take everything that’s good about Weston and everything that’s good about Bristol to create something even better, with a greater purpose.

We have 13,000 members of staff delivering over 100 different clinical services across 10 sites. From the neonatal intensive care unit to the care of the elderly teams, we provide the best quality care to the people of the South West from the very beginning of life to its later stages.

We are dedicated to ensuring Weston General Hospital remains a central part of the community, while being able to deliver specialism such as children’s services, cardiac and cancer services, and other smaller specialisms which are nationally commissioned.

We retain our Outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission, making us one of only seven Trusts in the country to have been rated Outstanding twice, and one of only three general acute Trusts to achieve this.
