The hospital has been on its present site for over 100 years and was established as an NHS trust by statute in December 1990. The Trust’s services are provided on the North Middlesex University Hospital site as well as a range of community sites across the London Borough of Enfield, including at partner hospitals.

In the year ending 31 March 2022, the Trust reported a turnover of £419.7m and employed almost 4,000 staff.
