Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham

Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital is an NHS hospital in the Edgbaston area of Birmingham situated very close to the University of Birmingham. It is one of the two hospitals in the University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, the other being Selly Oak Hospital.

It is named after Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. It was designed by Thomas Arthur Lodge and opened in 1938.

The hospital provides a whole range of services including secondary services for its local population and regional and national services for the people of the West Midlands and beyond. The hospital has the largest renal transplant programme in the UK, is a major specialist centre for liver, heart and lung transplantation, neuroscience and a specialist cancer centre.

Building work has begun on a new hospital on the current site. This is due for completion by 2010 [http://www.uhb.nhs.uk/about/newhospital.htm] . Upon completion Selly Oak Hospital will be closed, and the land sold. All medical services will be moved to the new hospital and the existing old estate at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital site. For the Trust this allows simplification of operation due to a single site, and will also entail the removal of several administration departments to off-site facilities due to a lack of real estate available at Edgbaston. The hospital is served by University station which is a five minute walk away and many buses along the A38 Bristol Road.
