Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Selly Oak Hospital is one of two hospitals which form the University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, the other being the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in the Selly Oak area of Birmingham, England.
The A&E department at Selly Oak is well renowned for the trauma care it provides, with access for the County Air Ambulance to land. Selly Oak is also the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine which cares for injured service men and women from conflict zones, as well as training service medical staff in preparation for working in such areas. In conjunction with this, Selly Oak Hospital has one of the best burns units in the country.
The hospital in its current state is likely to close in 2010 upon completion of the "Birmingham Super Hospital".
In March 2007 the Hospital was alleged of mistreating Iraq war veterans: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6439625.stm
