Sir Leonard Fenwick CBE Chief Executive 3 THE NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST SECTION B OVERVIEW The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NuTH) is one of the largest and most successful teaching hospitals in England providing academically led acute, specialist and community services locally to a large and diverse population across the North East and Cumbria as well as nationally and internationally. The Trust operates across a number of locations including acute sites (Freeman Hospital, Royal Victoria Infirmary, Campus for Ageing and Vitality and Centre for Life) and a number of community sites. Redevelopment of these sites over the last few years has seen the consolidation of core services onto two main hospital sites enabled by the Transforming Newcastle Hospitals programme. We provide one of the highest number of specialist services of any Trust in the UK and are recognised nationally and internationally as a centre for healthcare excellence. This is evidenced in the Cardiothoracic Centre, the only one in the UK to provide all complex cardiopulmonary surgery, including heart and lung transplants for both children and adults. Furthermore the Trust has the UK’s first Institute of Transplantation which is a one stop shop model dedicated to all forms of solid organ transplant surgery. We have a turnover of circa £1 billion per annum, contracting with thirteen CCGs, three local authorities and NHS England for its main business. The Trust also delivers a range of specialist services to other commissioners across the country via individual contract arrangements. One of the largest employers in the region, the Trust has around 14,000 staff across a number of professions and staff groups. The Trust works closely with local providers of education including Newcastle University and the University of Northumbria to offer high quality education and training to ensure the workforce of the future. The Trust has a strong culture of research and innovation with formal management relationships with Newcastle University and the University of Northumbria in Newcastle. The Trust is one of the top in the country for the quantity of research and recruitment to commercial and non-commercial portfolio studies. A core member of the North East and North Cumbria Academic Health Science Network (NENC AHSN) and Northern Health Science Alliance (NHSA), we continue to attract health science, innovation and commercial opportunities to the North East. We are a Wave One, Genomic Medicine Centres as part of the 100,000 Genomes Programme, we achieve our strategic aim to become a centre for excellence for genomics. The partnership of the Northern Genetics Service, Newcastle University, Trust pathology service and NewGene (a unique partnership to develop, validate and deliver molecular diagnostics using the latest high throughput sequencing and genotyping technologies) will ensure that the outputs of the programme are disseminated through research and translation into clinical care. 4 THE NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST Our strong history of joint working has led to a number of strategic partnerships across health and social care with many of these relationships translating into integrated and multiagency pathways of care for patients. The integration agenda is an opportunity to accelerate system transformation and further develop and grow integrated pathways of care for patients. We are an active member of the Shelford Group, a network of specialist teaching hospitals which undertakes comparative work and addresses issues of common interest. This includes: Sheffield Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust; Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust; University College Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; King’s College London NHS Foundation Trust; Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust; Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. 5 THE NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST SECTION C ABOUT THE TRUST In-patient clinical services are based on two sites - the Royal Victoria Infirmary and the Freeman Hospital.

  • Royal Newcastle Infirmary
    Accounting for Healthcare in the Newcastle Infirmary During the 19th Century Andrew John Holden Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle University Business School June 2018 i To Gill, Olly and Emily for all your support, encouragement and love ii Newcastle Infirmary c 1815 Figure 0.1 – The Newcastle Infirmary (Source: Welcome Library Images) To serve the needy, sick and lame, This splendid shilling freely came, From one who knows the want of wealth, And what is more - the want of health. Beneath this roof may thousands find, The greatest blessings of mankind; And hence may millions learn to know, That to do good’s our end below; That Vice and Folly must decay Ere we can reach eternal day! (Anon. Above poem written on a note which enclosed a shilling left in a poor box 1752 – from Hume 1951, p. 5) iii Abstract Accounting played a critical role in the management of the Newcastle Infirmary during the 19th century. In a class-based society, the poor relied upon the generosity of the wealthy for their healthcare at a time when poverty itself was seen as a sin, an act against God. These wealthy donors established and maintained hospitals, such as the Newcastle Infirmary, and were responsible for the governance, management and admission of patients. Their aim was to be seen to use resources efficiently and to treat the “deserving poor” to restore them to productive members of society. Throughout the century new buildings, medical advances and increasingly highly specialised staff had to be financed to cope with increasing demand.

Urban Sciences building, as seen from across Science Square: artistic impression. Images courtesy Hawkins/Brown 3 Newcastle University is developing its presence on the Science Central site to the north- west of the city centre, as part of a partnership-based initiative to re-position itself as a civic or public university for the 21st century. The university has been central to the city’s designation as a Science City, and its strategy for economic revitalisation based on the promotion of a socially-inclusive, post-industrial knowledge society. Science Central was conceived as a form of science and technology park, integrated into the city centre, which would be a physical embodiment of the Science City and the council’s partnership with the university; a former colliery and brewery site where new university research facilities would be co-located with businesses, public open space, community gardens and homes, attracting investment and government funding for research and physical infrastructure. The University’s first building dedicated to Urban Sciences will open in Autumn 2017, as a resource for academics and the public, and in March 2015 benefited from the announcement of an additional £10m of government investment through the Collaboratorium for Research in Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC).
