Leeds General Infirmary

Right in the heart of the city Leeds General Infirmary has been saving lives for nearly 250 years. It is also a specialist regional centre for a number of complex conditions, as well as providing many general acute hospital services such as an A&E department, intensive care, state of the art operating theatres and a high-tech high dependency unit.  It brings together many of the country's leading experts in caring for patients with serious brain injuries, heart and lung problems and major trauma.  As one of the country's leading teaching hospitals, Leeds General Infirmary has an international reputation for its expertise in a range of specialist services for which the hospital is a regional centre. Central to the site is the Jubilee Building, which contains many services dedicated to helping critically-ill patients including those with major trauma, brain injury and heart attack. The hospital has a large and busy Accident and Emergency department for adults, and next to it is a separate dedicated facility catering for children up of the age of 16, adjacent to the facilities of Leeds Children's Hospital to ensure seamless care for youngsters. The hospital also has one of the best-known maternity units in the country thanks to its exposure on the award-winning Channel 4 series One Born Every Minute.
