The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham is an NHS hospital in the Edgbaston area of Birmingham, situated very close to the University of Birmingham.
The hospital, which cost £545 million to construct, opened in June 2010, replacing the previous Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Selly Oak Hospital.
The hospital provides a whole range of services including secondary services for its local population and regional and national services for the people of the West Midlands and beyond.
It has the largest solid organ transplantation programme in Europe and also has the largest renal transplant programme in the United Kingdom.
The hospital has the largest single-floor critical care unit in the world, with 100 beds and is now the new home of the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, which cares for injured service men and women from conflict zones, as well as training Army, Navy and Air Force medical staff. It is also a regional centre for trauma and burns.
The new hospital has been built adjacent to the old Queen Elizabeth Hospital site. It was built to replace the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Selly Oak Hospital, although it has incorporated some of the newer parts of the current Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
It has been named the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, rather than the originally planned name of Birmingham Queen Elizabeth Hospital, as the Ministry Of Justice ruled that no word can precede a Royal Title.

I blipped this building after helping Sir Keith Porter (Professor of Clinical Traumatology) with some PowerPoint and thought he could do with a new photo for his presentation.
