The John Radcliffe Hospital (JR) was opened in the 1970s and is Oxfordshire’s main accident and emergency site. It  provides acute medical and surgical services, trauma, intensive care, cardiac services, women’s services and children’s services. 

The JR, which has 616 beds, is the largest of the Trust’s hospitals. It houses many departments of Oxford University Medical School, and is the base for most medical students who are trained throughout the Trust. The JR, along with the nearby Churchill Hospital, will see major developments over the next few years, as services are relocated from the Radcliffe Infirmary and cardiac services are extended.
