Patient quote
"I feel that I had to write to you to congratulate you on Newcastle General Hospital. I recently stayed on Ward 30 and the Trust really does have a ward to be proud of. I would like to say my stay in the General was a pleasure." Miss SAC
Newcastle General Hospital
(0191) 233 6161Welcome to Newcastle General Hospital (NGH)
Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE4 6BE
From broken bones in the Accident & Emergency department, to tropical fevers in the infectious diseases unit; from brain conditions to problems with your child’s immune system, we provide a full range of modern healthcare services at the NGH.
Several of our departments at the NGH are officially designated regional centres of expertise such as our Northern Centre for Cancer Treatment which is due to relocate to brand new, state of the art facilities at the Freeman Hospital in 2008. Some enjoy international reputations, like our Neurosciences Centre, which treats people with illnesses affecting the nervous system, including the brain and the spinal cord. Patients come to us not only from Newcastle and across Northern England, but, for some pioneering treatments, from all over the UK and abroad.
Specialist care for our youngest and most vulnerable
As part of the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, few hospitals in the North of England provide such a wide range of specialist services for children. These include our Paediatric Intensive Care Unit for children who are seriously ill, and our state-of-the-art “bubble unit” for children with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome (SCIDS) – one of only two such units in the country. These are both currently based at the Newcastle General Hospital.
Healthcare with a personal touch
Our ambition is not just to provide leading edge clinical expertise, but to do so with a human touch. From the moment you enter the hospital, you’ll be cared for by highly skilled staff dedicated to ensuring that not only do you receive the best treatment, but that your stay with us is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
