We are helping shape the future of local healthcare, with plans for new state‑of‑the‑art hospitals in King’s Lynn and Gorleston through the Government’s New Hospital Programme, and ongoing digital investment such as implementing an electronic patient record.

The QEH holds teaching hospital status and is research active, recruiting more than 1,800 participants to NIHR portfolio studies last year.
