Accommodation near Freeman Hospital: A Home from Home for NHS Staff

Starting a placement or a run of shifts at the Freeman? You need somewhere close, quiet and comfortable to switch off between long days.

Our two-bedroom serviced flat in Longbenton is close to Freeman Hospital and a short walk from Longbenton Metro station. The Metro connects you to the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) and the city centre, so it works for staff at both hospitals.

• Your own kitchen – cook proper meals and prep for long shifts.
