What is Liverpool University Hospitals Foundation Trust?
'''Liverpool University Hospitals Foundation Trust''' is an [[NHS trust]] which runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust|url=https://www.rlbuht.nhs.uk/|access-date=2023-02-06|website=Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals Trust|language=en}}</ref> It started in 2019. Royal Liverpool University Hospital was rebuilt from 2013 to 2022. It took a long time because the building firm, Carillion, went bust. It has the largest [[emergency department]] in the United Kingdom. The new building has fewer beds than the old one. There are 640 single rooms so people get more sleep and get better more quickly. The old hospital often had to close parts because of the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom]]. That doesnt happen in the new hospital.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Dunhill|first=Lawrence|title=‘Massively reduced’ length of stay emerging at much criticised new hospital, says CEO|url=https://www.hsj.co.uk/liverpool-university-hospitals-nhs-foundation-trust/massively-reduced-length-of-stay-emerging-at-much-criticised-new-hospital-says-ceo/7034162.article|access-date=2023-02-06|website=Health Service Journal|language=en}}</ref> In October 2022 the main [[corridor]] at Aintree Hospital was closed and turned into a ‘makeshift ward’ so that people could be brought out of the [[Ambulance|ambulances]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Dunhill|first=Lawrence|title=Exclusive: main hospital corridor turned into ‘makeshift ward’|url=https://www.hsj.co.uk/liverpool-university-hospitals-nhs-foundation-trust/exclusive-main-hospital-corridor-turned-into-makeshift-ward/7033503.article|access-date=2023-02-06|website=Health Service Journal|language=en}}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:NHS trusts]] [[Category:Organisations based in Merseyside]]
