We’re excited to share that North Bristol NHS Trust has been re-accredited as a Veteran Aware Trust!

This means we continue to meet national standards for supporting veterans, reservists, and Armed Forces families, making sure our care is inclusive, informed, and responsive to the needs of the military community, and we’re committed to growing this support even further.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen.

We are thrilled to share that our new surgical centre at Southmead Hospital NHS will be named in honour of Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal.

The centre, a joint project between North Bristol NHS Trust and University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust will be known as The Princess Royal Bristol Surgical Centre.

The first patients had their operations in the centre last week and we are now building up to full capacity, which will see it supporting about 6,900 more operations a year to be carried out across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

📣 Southmead Hospital Charity, official charity of North Bristol NHS Trust, is today launching its incredible Walkerbot appeal - and we need your help!

The Walkerbot is a groundbreaking robotic device which could transform recovery for stroke patients by helping them take thousands of steps in therapy, compared to just a few dozen with traditional methods. The appeal aims to raise £428,660 to bring the Walkerbot to Southmead Hospital.

Together, we can help more patients take their first steps after stroke 💙
