Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital
The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) is a large National Health Service academic teaching hospital located in Norwich, England. It is part of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The hospital was built under the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and opened in 2001, replacing the former Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and West Norwich Hospital. With 1237 acute beds, it is one of the largest hospitals in the UK in terms of in-patient capacity. The NNUH offers a wide range of NHS acute health services and also has private patient facilities.
As the first new NHS teaching hospital built in England in over 30 years, the NNUH is a partner with the University of East Anglia in delivering courses. It serves as a teaching center for various healthcare professionals and hosts the Norwich GP specialty training scheme.
Construction of the NNUH began in January 1998, following the announcement by Prime Minister Tony Blair. The project, costing £214 million, was the first large PFI hospital scheme in the NHS. In 2000, approval was given to extend the hospital with an additional 144 beds, bringing the total project cost to £229 million.
The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital plays a crucial role in providing healthcare services and training future healthcare professionals in the region.
