"We are all of the opinion that the treatment and care our mother received whilst in the Royal Victoria Infirmary could not have been met with a higher standard anywhere". Family of Mrs HH

We’ve been providing healthcare to the communities of Newcastle and the North East for over 250 years. But there’s nothing old-fashioned about our services. As part of the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the healthcare services we provide are among the safest and most advanced in the country.
They range from emergency medicine, like our Rapid Access Chest Pain Clinic, to our pioneering burns unit and our innovative dermatology unit, the sole provider in the region of the leading edge Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer.
The maternity department at the RVI is one of the UK’s largest, helping to bring over 5,700 babies into the world every year. And with our consultant-led service, you know you’re in the safest hands possible however your pregnancy develops.
At the same time, we understand the often very different needs of our elderly patients. Our Falls and Syncope Service, the largest of its kind in Europe, helps to relieve the stress and discomfort of balance, black-out and dizziness, so that our patients can continue to enjoy mobile and independent lives. Our Ophthalmology department has one of the UK’s largest cataract treatment centres, but also offers the most advanced treatments of age-related eye problems such as ARMD (Age Related Macular Degeneration), the major cause of blindness in the UK.
Whatever your reasons for visiting us, we’ll take the very best care of you. Our aim is not just to deliver clinically advanced healthcare, but also to meet the wider, individual needs of all our patients, so you receive personal care at all times, from every member of our team.
