Southmead Hospital, part of North Bristol NHS Trust, is sited in the North West part of Bristol. The hospital opened in 1902 as a workhouse, three buildings of which remain on site today. Southmead is renowned for a range of major pioneering specialties including renal and transplant, neurosurgery, urology, orthopaedics and maternity services. In 2014, acute services at Frenchay and Southmead Hospitals will combine within a new hospital at the Southmead site.
