Oxford University Hospitals is a world renowned centre of clinical excellence and is one the largest teaching hospitals in the UK. We became a Foundation Trust in 2015 enabling us to work more effectively in partnership with both our patients and the local community to provide high quality healthcare in a wide range of clinical specialities.

We also support Modernising Scientific Careers and take a range of students from Apprentice to HSST level. We are a practical assessment centre for BSE and participate in the STP OSFA assessments for the National School for Healthcare Science. As a department we have established links with the University and are actively involved in research.

We regularly perform live cases as part of a national and international training programme

The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.
