Royal Group Hospitals Trust

The Royal Group of Hospitals was a major healthcare provider and NHS Trust based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which operated several prominent medical facilities including the Royal Victoria Hospital, the Royal Maternity Hospital, and the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. As a leading teaching hospital complex affiliated with Queen's University Belfast, it provided a wide range of regional specialist services such as cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, and trauma care. In 2007, the trust was dissolved as part of a reorganization of health and social care services in Northern Ireland, with its assets and operations merged into the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. The group remains a central hub for medical research and acute healthcare delivery within the region under its new administrative structure.
