James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
About
The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides care to 250,000 people living in Great Yarmouth and Waveney, from our main hospital site in Gorleston, the nearby Newberry Clinic and other outreach clinics in the local area.
Built between 1976 and 1981, the hospital fully opened in 1982, bringing together smaller local hospitals and clinical services in the area on to one site. Our hospital is named after Great Yarmouth-born surgeon to Queen Victoria, Sir James Paget (1814-1899), who was President of the Royal College of Surgeons in England, a Fellow of the Royal Society and Vice Chancellor of London University and is considered a major pioneer of British pathology.
Our hospital provides a full range of general acute services plus several specialised services; including a hyperbaric chamber for ventilating and monitoring critically ill patients whilst they are receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
The Trust has approximately 500 inpatient beds. These are a mix of critical, intensive, and high dependency care, general surgery and medicine, maternity, paediatrics and neonatal, and escalation beds. We employ over 4,500 staff, both part and full time, making us the largest employer in the local area.
We play a significant role in the fabric of the local community, not only as a much-loved NHS Trust committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care, but as an institution within our area. We are a respected clinical educator and trainer that nurtures and develops its staff, both from local and international populations.
Our Trust is on a journey to developing a New Hospital on its current estate, which will provide modern health and care services to meet the needs of the communities it serves for the future.
Our Trust works with a range of local partners to ensure we meet the needs of our population holistically, above and beyond the clinical treatment and support our hospital staff provide.
We work closely with our fellow hospitals and NHS Trusts in Norfolk and Waveney, GPs and clinical teams in Primary Care Networks, community and mental health services, local government, independent providers and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to meet the evolving needs of our patients. Much of this collaborative working takes place directly with patients in our care, delivered through longstanding, integrated services that support the needs of people with joint health and care needs.
The James Paget is a member of the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System, which brings together a wide range of partner organisations that work together to transform local services, with input from staff, patients, families and carers, with an overarching aim of helping people lead longer, healthier and happier lives.
We want our staff to be positive ambassadors for the Trust as a place to work and receive treatment, guided by our vision, values and behaviours. Our vision is building a healthier future together. This means we aspire to be an innovative organisation, delivering compassionate and safe patient care to the people we serve.
We also want to be outstanding in everything we do, to maximise the positive impact we have on people’s lives. Achieving this requires a well-led and motivated workforce, so our vision is underpinned by a set of values and behaviours, which have been co-produced with staff and patients: Collaboration, Accountability, Respect, Empowerment & Support

Our priority is ensuring that patients always come first and remain at the heart of everything we do.
