Background
About the Trust
The Board, Governors, our staff and volunteers are very #proudofthepaget.
The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust became a Foundation Trust in 2006. The Trust has 500 beds, employs over 3000 staff and is the largest local employer in the area. The hospital was built in 1981 to provide a full range of district general hospital services for the population of Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and the surrounding areas. This includes the many visitors to this popular holiday destination. Our catchment population is 230,000 and with 40,000 new homes predicted across Norfolk and Suffolk a significant impact is anticipated across all health and social care services. The Trust provides a full range of general acute and specialised services; in addition a hyperbaric chamber is provided for ventilating and monitoring critically ill patients whilst they are receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We work collaboratively with a number of local primary care colleagues and community services, to ensure that patients receive the best care in the right place.
We continually strive to improve clinical outcomes and patient experience to meet the needs of our patients and local population. We pride ourselves on our continuing commitment to modernise and improve patient care. As a University Hospital, the Trust trains over one third of the medical students from the University of East Anglia and has a strong national reputation for research and excellence in the quality of their training facilities.
We must continue to meet the demands of our patients but also deliver services in the most cost effective, high quality and efficient way, eliminating waste and reducing bureaucracy. The Trust’s activities are governed by NHS Improvement and by legislation. Our quality of care is assessed by the Care Quality Commission.
