About Our Trust
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS) provides services to some 1.9
million people living in Southampton and south Hampshire as well as specialist services including
neurosciences, cardiac and specialist children's services to nearly 4 million people in central
southern England and the Channel Islands. With a turnover last year of more than £1 billion, the
Trust is one of the largest in the country.
Every year over 13,000 staff:
• treat about 160,000 inpatients and day patients, including about 75,000 emergency
admissions;
• see approximately 650,000 people at outpatient appointments; and
• deal with around 150,000 cases in our emergency department.
Providing these services costs about £2.5 million a day.
UHS is a centre of excellence for training the doctors and nurses of the future and developing
treatments for tomorrow's patients. Its role in research and education, developed in active
partnership with the University of Southampton, distinguishes it as an organisation that works at
the leading edge of healthcare developments in the NHS and internationally.
We are a nationally leading trust for research into cancer, respiratory disease, nutrition,
cardiovascular disease, bone and joint conditions and complex immune system problems.
