About
Our Vision
North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) is a centre of excellence for health care in the South West in a number of fields with an annual turnover of circa £870 million. Of this, approximately 75% comes from commissioning through Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Integrated Care Board (ICB) and specialist services through NHS England for direct patient care. Further income is also received from other NHS Integrated Care System (ICS) organisations and for purposes other than direct patient care (such as training and research activities).
We provide high quality clinical services to our patients from both the local area and across the region. These clinical services include:
• Urgent care – we provide expert care and treatment 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for patients when they need us most
• Local acute care – we provide elective and urgent hospital services for a population of more than 500,000 people, primarily in South Gloucestershire and North Bristol
• Specialist services – we excel in complex surgical interventions, providing great care for patients across the region and beyond. We also provide a suite of non-surgical specialist services that are a critical part of NHS care in the South West
• Diagnostic services – as well as local hospital diagnostics, NBT delivers Pathology and Radiology across a wide network.
Our reason for existing as an organisation is to put the patient first by delivering outstanding patient experience. This is the focal point and aim of our new Trust strategy which launched in February 2023, and which continues overall focus on three objectives:
• Delivering great care
• Healthcare for the future
• Being an anchor in our community
