We have been asked to inform all representatives of an upcoming name change affecting North Bristol NHS Trust and University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.

From 1st July, these organisations will merge to form Bristol NHS Foundation Trust.

As part of this change, the Trust is working to standardise working practices across all hospital sites. To reflect this on the MIA Portal and MIA App, the hospital names will be updated as follows:

• North Bristol NHS Trust will become Bristol NHS Foundation Trust: Southmead Hospital
• University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust will become Bristol NHS Foundation Trust: City and Weston

If you are unable to locate either hospital site within your MIA App following these changes, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Team on help@miaweb.co.uk or 01732 920 900, and we'll be happy to help.
