Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (2001 To Present)
The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) opened on the Norwich Research Park on the southern outskirts of Norwich in November 2001 and has 987 acute beds. NNUH is the county's main emergency centre and offers a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic services.
Known locally and affectionately as the "N&N", the hospital has a very proud history that stretches back to the original foundation of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital in 1771 by William Fellowes and Benjamin Gooch.
The Queen performed the official opening of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital on 5 February 2004. NNUH first opened to patients in November 2001, replacing the former Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, and West Norwich Hospital, and all the department moves from the two former hospitals were completed in January 2003.

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or hospital:
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
“The church is a sort of hospital for men’s souls, and as full of quackery as the hospital for their bodies. Those who are taken into it live like pensioners in their Retreat or Sailor’s Snug Harbor, where you may see a row of religious cripples sitting outside in sunny weather.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
