About us

Cambridge University Hospitals

Innovation and excellence in health and care

Cambridge University Hospitals is one of the largest and best known trusts in the country. As the local hospital for our community we deliver care through Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie hospitals. We are also a leading national centre for specialist treatment, a government-designated comprehensive biomedical research centre, one of only five academic health science centres in the UK and a university teaching hospital with a worldwide reputation. Building on these different elements, our vision is to be one of the best academic healthcare organisations in the world.
Our profile

Our performance

We believe in being transparent and accountable about the care and treatment we provide. We are proud to promote our achievements - but we also want to be open about what we could do better.

Our achievements

Sometimes our work makes national headlines, sometimes the everyday things we do make significant differences to our patients.

How we look after you

All that we do is informed by our values — kind, safe and excellent.

Our management

As a Foundation Trust, we are responsible for our own management. We are led by our board of directors and a team of operational managers. We are owned by our members, represented by the council of governors.
