Aintree University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was established on 1 st August 2006 as a public benefit corporation authorised under the National Health Service Act 2006. It is a large, complex organisation providing acute healthcare to a population of 330,000 in North Merseyside and surrounding areas. The immediate catchment covers some 33 square miles which is largely urban with significant areas of commerce including docklands. The Trust provides acute hospital services to the residents of South Sefton, North Liverpool and Kirkby.
It is also a teaching hospital for the University of Liverpool and a tertiary centre providing specialist services to a much wider population of around 1.5 million in Merseyside, Cheshire , South Lancashire and North Wales . The population served by Aintree includes some of the most socially deprived communities in the country, with high levels of illness creating a high demand for hospital-based care.
