The Trust frequently figures in the top medical institutions in the world, with an enviable international reputation for progressive research, leading to innovative improvements in patient care.
Teaching commitments ensure the clinical staff are completely up-to-date and at the forefront of their areas of clinical practice. This method of working ensures that the very best clinicians can be recruited to the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals.
The Trust supports outstanding individuals, working in world-class facilities, conducting leading-edge research focused on the needs of patients and the public.
