About Freeman Hospital

As part of the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the Freeman Hospital delivers a wide range of advanced, patient-focused healthcare to patients from Newcastle, the North East and beyond. Our services range from hip and knee replacements and digital hearing aids, to the latest developments in treating complex liver, pancreatic, kidney and heart related diseases, as well as the treatment of all types of cancer.

The Freeman Hospital is home to the UK’s first Institute of Transplantation which provides the very best transplantation outcomes for patients. We already have an international reputation for our pioneering expertise in transplant surgery and carried out the UK's first successful baby heart transplant in 1987, as well both the first single and double lung transplants in Europe.
