NBT has a large theatre complex operating over 2 levels of the Brunel building and a separate obstetric and gynaecology complex. This includes specialist areas for interventional radiology and MRI scans. The 48 bedded Critical Care Unit is divided into four 12 bedded pods and is situated adjacent to the emergency theatres, emergency department and radiology.
NBT is a regional centre for several specialist services including neurosurgery, renal medicine, plastics, burns, orthopaedics, vascular and is one of the two Major Trauma centres in the SW, serving the Severn Network.

The obstetric unit is one of the largest in the UK with over 6,000 deliveries annually, performing 1100 Caesarean sections and 1500 epidurals each year. There is also a neonatal intensive care unit on site.
There is a national prize-winning acute pain and outreach team, chronic pain services including interventional procedures and a perioperative assessment service.

North Bristol NHS Trust is a progressive and ambitious teaching and research organisation, and a specialist regional centre for major trauma, neurosciences, plastics and burns, orthopaedics, vascular and renal services. With a turnover of £550m and 8,000 staff, our clinical teams have built a strong reputation for exceptional healthcare, personally delivered.

Our trust Board is committed to creating a strong, vibrant organisation that is at the forefront of healthcare delivery in the West of England. Our acute services moved into the brand new, £430 million state of the art Brunel Building in May 2014 enabling us to work together to create the environment for exceptional healthcare. This 800 bed hospital at the Southmead site offers some patients single rooms with en-suite facilities, greatly improving privacy and dignity and helping to control the spread of infections but most importantly of all, enabling each patient to be treated as a person. At the heart of what we do is a caring and compassionate workforce.

We treat some of the most difficult medical conditions, in an increasingly complex patient population. Our vision is to be the provider of choice for patients needing our specialist care. We want to deliver innovative services with excellent clinical outcomes in the most appropriate setting for our patients.
