Working for our organisation
About the Trust:
The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough is a designated major trauma centre and provides all its specialties from one site which is unique for a hospital of its size. It provides a wide range of district general hospital services and specialist services such as cardiothoracics, neurosciences, renal medicine, spinal injuries, major trauma, vascular surgery and cancer services. It has 1,024 beds, a 24-hour acute admissions unit and an emergency department which houses the major trauma centre (adult and children) for Durham, East Cleveland, Tees Valley and North Yorkshire and has its own floodlit helipad. In 2012, The James Cook University Hospital completed a £35 million redevelopment of its cancer services and is now proud to provide some of the best facilities in Europe. The James Cook University Hospital has a modern, central operating suite containing 20 well-equipped theatres and a 16-bedded intensive care unit.
