About The Queen Elizabeth Hospital

We’re working on a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to build a new state‑of‑the‑art hospital and are carrying out one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we’ve ever undertaken.

The 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.

Our hospital provides a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community‑based services to around 331,000 people across West and North Norfolk, North Cambridgeshire and South Lincolnshire. We have approximately 530 beds across 33 wards, newly built education and training facilities, and award‑winning centres.

We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We recently achieved a ‘Good’ rating in the 2024 CQC maternity inspection and are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.

We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, and pride ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit.

We love working here and think you will too.
