About the Trust

Manchester, now part of the Northern Care Alliance NHS Group, was the first hospital in the north of England to receive the highest rating of Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission and is nationally recognised for its specialist care – people come from all over the UK for expert help with brain, kidney, bone, intestine, or skin conditions.

The safe, clean, and personal care patients receive at Manchester has earned it consistently high ratings for quality service, as well as patient and staff satisfaction. But it’s always looking to expand and improve.

A new £68million extension is currently being built which will include a resuscitation area, five emergency theatres, inpatient beds, and diagnostic imaging. The James Potter Building will also have a helipad, meaning seriously ill patients will reach the site even quicker for their life-saving treatment.

From 2023, the new facility will aim to receive 90% of all major trauma patients in Greater Manchester.
