At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust is delighted to have been awarded the National Preceptorship Nursing Interim Quality Mark from NHS England. Awarded to the Trust in January 2024, the National Preceptorship Award Interim Quality Mark is the national gold standard and was created when NHS England introduced the new national preceptorship framework for nursing, which NHS trusts now use to benchmark themselves against. This means that the support and guidance given to our Newly Registered Nurse and nursing associates is of the standard quality and provides a safe and nurturing environment for professionals to develop their skills as confident and competent practitioners.
