Royal Liverpool University Hospital (RLUH) is a major teaching and research hospital located in the city of Liverpool, England. It is the largest and busiest hospital in Merseyside and Cheshire.
A major redevelopment of the hospital began in 2013 and was scheduled for completion in 2017, but construction problems and the 2018 collapse of main contractor Carillion meant it did not open until late 2022.
The hospital is part of NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group and is associated with the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
