Teaching and research
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a teaching Trust, with links to a number of universities in the region and around the world. Students may be present during your consultation and you may also be asked to take part in research studies. This is entirely voluntary and your decision will not affect your treatment.

Smoking is not permitted inside any of the Trust’s buildings or on the hospital grounds. The smoke free policy promotes the health and wellbeing of
staff, patients and visitors to the Trust.

Here to help - Volunteers
We have a number of volunteers who may be available on your arrival to assist you in reaching your destination. Please ask for help if needed.
The volunteers typically wear red polo shirts/fleece jackets and stand at main entrances or key hospital junctions.
Chaplaincy and spiritual care
Our chaplains work alongside medical and other staff in the hospital, offering support for you and your carers/relatives by:
- Spending time with you and being a “listening ear”.
- Working with you as you deal with questions such as ‘Why me?’ or ‘Where is God in all this?’
- Praying with you and for you.
- Performing any rites or ceremonies that may be appropriate.
- Offering bereavement care and end of life care.
We have dedicated prayer/quiet spaces within the hospitals and regular services of worship are held. Your ward staff will be able to give you details of service times and chaplaincy facilities. If you are an inpatient and unable to get to one of the services then a chaplain will come to your bedside if you request it.
Macmillan Cancer information and support Service
If you are having treatment for cancer, the Macmillan CUH Cancer Support Service is on hand to provide holistic needs assessments to help provide you with the right information at the right time. They are available to provide emotional support, information about support groups, transport and travel, financial assistance and employment support. They are based in Oncology Outpatients and you may come into contact with a member of the team in clinic or on the ward.

Helping you to get to Cambridge University Hospitals
The CUH site is well served by public transport. We encourage our staff, patients and visitors to use public transport where possible – this helps ease congestion and saves car parking spaces for those who must use a car.
Planning your journey
Use our journey planner to check public transport and parking options.
Finding your way around
We know our hospitals and campus are very large and complex to navigate.
Our maps will help you find your way around to many different areas of our site.
There are large maps and signage displayed in our hospitals' corridors to help you if you are not sure where to go.
Please also ask at reception, or speak to one of our many volunteers, if you need help finding your way around.
Visit our finding your way around pages for maps and information.
