Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Central Manchester University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, established in 2009, runs eight hospitals in Manchester and Trafford: Manchester Royal Infirmary, Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, Manchester Royal Eye Hospital and University Dental Hospital of Manchester in Manchester, and Trafford General Hospital, Altrincham Hospital and Stretford Memorial Hospital in Trafford.

It is a teaching hospital of the School of Medicine, University of Manchester and one of the Shelford Group. Sir Mike Deegan has been Chief Executive since 2001. He was reckoned by the Health Service Journal to be the 54th most influential person in the English NHS in 2015.

The Infirmary, Manchester Convalescent Home, St Mary's, the Royal Eye Hospital, the Dental Hospital and the Foot Hospital in Manchester were entitled The United Manchester Hospitals when they were taken into the National Health Service in 1948 and run by one Hospital Management Committee.

Plans were announced in 2016 for a merger between the trust and the University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust as proposed in a report by Sir Jonathan Michael. The merged trust would then take over North Manchester General Hospital, at present run by Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
