There's never been a more exciting time to join Team QEH. We're working on a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital to open in 2030, and we are also carrying out one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken.
Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.
At The QEH, we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics, and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs, and South Lincs.
We are an ambitious organization 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 recognized learning and apprenticeships.
We recognize and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approximately 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centers alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
