Hospital Profiles Belfast City Hospital (BCH) is a major teaching hospital, most of which is housed within the Tower. The Northern Ireland Cancer Centre opened on the campus in March 2006.

The Royal Hospitals is the largest hospital complex in Northern Ireland, comprising the Royal Victoria Hospital, the Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital (RJMH), the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children (RBHSC) and the School of Dentistry. It provides virtually all referral services in Northern Ireland and undoubtedly the vast majority of local research. Major re-developments of the Royal Group of Hospitals are underway, which includes the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. A new Critical Care Building with emergency department and operating theatres is currently in the process of opening. The Royal Hospitals play a major role in clinical education, training and research, with most academic departments linked to the Queen’s University Medical School on the Royal Hospital’s complex – medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, child health, obstetrics and gynaecology, and pathology.
