Driven by efficiency and research ambitions, the new trust, now the top recipient of UK health research funding, aims to shift care into community settings, cut duplication, and boost frontline staff opportunities—all while prioritizing patient safety and seamless ambulance access. Final decisions are expected within 12 months as they chart a bold 10-year vision for healthcare in Bristol.
