About Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust operates two major acute hospitals, Gloucestershire Royal and Cheltenham General, providing comprehensive specialist care including emergency services, surgery, maternity, and critical care. The Trust serves a population of over 660,000 people across Gloucestershire and neighbouring counties, employing 9,000 staff who deliver care guided by values of compassion, inclusivity, and accountability. Established in 2004 through the merger of two NHS trusts, the organisation runs a Medical Assessment Zone to reduce waiting times, maintains dedicated maternity and neonatal services, and supports a wide range of clinical specialties. Patients benefit from consultant-led care, modern facilities including on-site nurseries for staff families, and a Patient Portal for managing appointments and accessing health records.
