Profile of the Trust

Innovation and excellence in health and care

Rated by the Healthcare Commission for providing excellent quality of services and excellent use of resources, and as ‘best performing’ for our maternity services, Cambridge University Hospitals is one of the country’s leading hospitals.

A centre for specialist care and a provider of local services, our reputation is world-wide as one of the foremost university teaching hospitals. We are one of only five comprehensive biomedical research centres in the UK, undertaking world-class research and our partnership with Cambridge University and the Medical Research Council is driving our vision to become the best biomedical research campus in Europe.

One of the largest and best known hospitals in the country, our name is synonymous with excellence due to the quality, expertise and commitment of our exceptional staff.

But what takes us a step further is our philosophy of care which explores smarter more efficient ways of working and which strives to care for patients, not just to treat them.

All this gives the Trust expertise, vision and diversity in a service which seeks to innovate and strives for excellence in delivering first-class healthcare.

For the last seven years, the healthcare consultancy CHKS has named the Trust as one of the 40 top hospitals in the UK — and in 2008 CUH was singled out for a special award for the quality of its patient care.
