About us
There has never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We are working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital due to open circa 2032 and we are also carrying out one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we have ever undertaken.
Our new electronic patient record (EPR) is expected to replace paper-based patient records in the near future and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.

We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as 'Good', and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.
We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
