About Us

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals is the UK’s largest NHS Foundation Trust and one one of the largest and busiest teaching hospitals. We have over 13,500 staff caring for over a million patients each year at our five hospitals:

The Royal Hallamshire Hospital
The Northern General Hospital
Charles Clifford Dental Hospital
Weston Park Cancer Hospital
Jessop Wing Maternity Hospital

We offer a full range of local hospital services for people in Sheffield as well as specialist services to patients from further afield. The Trust is recognised internationally for its work in neurosciences, spinal injuries, cancer, transplantation, neurosciences and orthopaedics. We are one of only a handful of hospital Trusts to have been awarded the highest rating of 'excellent' for both the quality of our services and our financial management, three years running. We are proud to be one of the top 20% of NHS Trusts for patient satisfaction.

We also play a key role in the training and education of medical, nursing and dental students with our academic partners, including the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam.

The Trust has been awarded the title of ‘Hospital Trust of the Year’ in the Good Hospital Guide twice in three years and is a recognised leader in medical research for bone, cardiac, neurosciences and long term conditions such as diabetes and lung disease.

As a NHS Foundation Trust we have more freedom to develop our services for the benefit of patients and give people a much greater say in how we do this.

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.

One of Britain's top teaching hospitals

The Trust is recognised as one of the leading Foundation Trusts in the UK providing around one million appointments and operations annually.

As a teaching hospital we have strong links with the University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and other learning establishments and can provide specialist treatments, many of which are only offered by a small number of Trusts across the UK.

With over 13,500 employees in over 70 professions, the Trust is the second largest employer in Sheffield offering a wide variety of roles and opportunities
