Aintree University Hospital (UHLG)

Aintree University Hospital is part of NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group (UHLG).

It is an acute teaching hospital in the north of Liverpool providing emergency, specialist and general care. It is the single receiving site for adult major trauma patients in Cheshire and Merseyside and is investing in further developing its urgent care services.

The hospital also hosts several regional services, including Gastroenterology, Diabetes, Palliative Care, Ear, Nose & Throat, Maxillofacial, Urology, Vascular, Respiratory and Rheumatology, including a Behçet’s Syndrome Centres of Excellence, one of only three in the country. 

As part of work to further develop urgent and emergency care, a £22.5 million investment programme is underway to improve access to services and patient experience. This includes a Hyper Acute Stroke Unit (HASU) purpose-built Stroke Emergency Assessment Centre. This sits alongside Aintree’s Emergency Department, providing specialist care for stroke patients, as part of the North Mersey Stroke Service. It also has two hybrid operating suites, the first hospital in Merseyside to allow for surgery and state-of-the-art imaging to be undertaken at the same time.
