Our trust Board is committed to creating a strong, vibrant organisation that is at the forefront of healthcare delivery in the West of England.

At the heart of what we do is a caring and compassionate workforce.
We treat some of the most difficult medical conditions, in an increasingly complex patient population. Our vision is to be the provider of choice for patients needing our specialist care. We want to deliver innovative services with excellent clinical outcomes in the most appropriate setting for our patients.
