Overview[edit | edit source]
The City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust was a National Health Service foundation trust based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England. It provided a range of hospital services to the local population and was known for its commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare. The trust operated several facilities, including the main Sunderland Royal Hospital, and was a key provider of acute hospital services in the region.
History[edit | edit source]
The trust was established in 1994, following the reorganization of the NHS, which aimed to improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare services. Over the years, City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust expanded its services and facilities to meet the growing needs of the community. In 2004, it achieved foundation trust status, which provided it with greater financial and operational autonomy.

City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust offered a comprehensive range of services, including:
- Accident and Emergency (A&E)
- Maternity services

The trust was particularly noted for its A&E department, which handled a significant number of cases annually.
Performance[edit | edit source]
The trust's performance in various healthcare metrics was closely monitored. The A&E department, for instance, was evaluated on its ability to meet the four-hour target for treating patients. The trust consistently worked towards improving its performance metrics to ensure timely and effective patient care.
Merger[edit | edit source]
In April 2019, City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust merged with South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust to form the South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust.
