The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS hospital trust located in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It is part of the Shelford Group of University Teaching Hospitals and provides acute medical services at the Royal Victoria Infirmary and Freeman Hospital. The trust also operates the Campus for Ageing and Vitality, which was formerly the site of the Newcastle General Hospital, as well as the Newcastle Dental Hospital, Newcastle Fertility Centre, and the Northern Genetics Service.

The trust entered into a 38-year Private Finance Initiative (PFI) scheme with Healthcare Support (Newcastle) Ltd in 2005. This PFI deal involves various companies, including the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Equion, Laing O'Rourke, Interserve, and Innisfree Ltd.[1] In 2014, a dispute arose between the trust and Laing O'Rourke regarding two clinical office buildings.[2]

The trust has a staff of approximately 13,000 individuals. It has been recognized by NHS England for having the highest number of reported never events among all trusts, with four incidents occurring between April and September 2013.[3]
