What we do

The care that the staff gave to not only my baby but to me and my partner too is second to none. These amazing people saved our baby's life and for that we will be forever grateful. The support they offer is phenomenal. 

Kelly Harrison, parent and patient

Everything we do is about improving the treatment of local patients like Kelly and supporting NHS staff to deliver the best quality of care in all of the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, this includes:

• Royal Hallamshire Hospital
• Northern General Hospital
• Charles Clifford Dental Hospital
• Weston Park Cancer Hospital
• Jessop Wing maternity hospital

We invest more than £2.5 million each year in to five key areas:

• Patient and family support
  We provide the extras that help to make time in hospital more comfortable for patients and their families. Services like complementary massages to help terminally patients feel more relaxed or sessions with a clinical psychologist to provide emotional support to reduce any anxiety.

• Environment
  By improving the hospital environment and creating a 'home from home' atmosphere, we make spaces more welcoming and comfortable for everyone.
  
  
• Equipment
  Funding state-of-the-art specialist medical equipment that would otherwise be unavailable, ensures that our patients have access to life-saving diagnostics and treatment.

• Research
  We support pioneering research into the cause, prevention and treatment of illnesses to save the lives of patients today and for future generations.

• Staff development
  By ensuring that staff have access to the latest training, development and emotional support, they can continue to provide the highest quality of care
