The hospital was founded in 1766 on Trumpington Street with £4,500 from the will of Dr John Addenbrooke, a fellow of St Catharine's College.{{cite web |url=http://www.cuh.org.uk/cuh/services/non_clin/archive/history/history.html |title=History of Addenbrooke's and the Rosie |publisher=Cambridge University Hospitals |website=Addenbrooke's Archives |access-date=9 June 2008}} In 1962 the first building was opened on its present site,{{cite web|url=https://www.cuh.nhs.uk/corporate-information/about-us/our-profile/history|title=Cambridge University Hospitals|website=www.cuh.nhs.uk|access-date=25 February 2019}} on the southern edge of the city at the end of Hills Road. The last patient left the Trumpington Street site in 1984 and the site was redeveloped in the 1990s – it is now occupied by the Cambridge Judge Business School (in the former main building), as well as Browns Brasserie & Bar (in the former adjacent outpatients building).{{cite web|url=http://www.johnoutram.com/judge.html|title=Judge institute, Cambridge|website=www.johnoutram.com|access-date=8 February 2018}} A new elective care facility was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2004, It was built by Alfred McAlpine and designed by Llewelyn Davies Architects at a cost of £85 million and completed in spring 2007.{{cite web|url= https://www.cam.ac.uk/news/clinical-and-research-centre-reaches-milestone |title= Clinical and research centre reaches milestone|date=7 November 2005|publisher=University of Cambridge|access-date=8 February 2018}}

• Alice Blomfield, (1866–1938) matron, 1905–1908

Both these matrons trained at The London Hospital under Eva Luckes. Luckes adopted Florence Nightingale's belief that the new style of matron should be autonomous and solely responsible for their staff. However, as with the Guy's Hospital Dispute these new style of matrons sometimes had issues with the acceptance of their autonomy. Morgan felt that she had an issue with the acceptance of her authority by some medical staff, and left after three years.House Committee Weekly Meeting, 11 June 1902; Addenbrooke’s Hospital Minute Book, 1901–1903; AHGR/3/1/1/36, 226–229; Addenbrooke’s Archives, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, CambridgeArthur Rook, Margaret Carlton, and W.

Addenbrooke's Hospital is a tertiary referral centre for a number of specialities. It is one of the UK's seven liver transplant centres and performs multivisceral transplants. It is a busy regional neurosurgical centre{{cite web |url=http://cambridgecriticalcare.net/neurosciences-trauma-critical-care-fellowships-cambridge/ |title=Neurosciences and Trauma Critical Care Fellowships in Cambridge |first=Ronan |last=O'Leary |date=17 July 2014 |website=NCCU Education |access-date=18 November 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129025958/http://cambridgecriticalcare.net/neurosciences-trauma-critical-care-fellowships-cambridge/ |archive-date=29 November 2014 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}{{cite web |url=http://www.cuh.org.uk/addenbrookes-hospital/for-patients/ward-information/all-wards/ward-a2-neurosciences-critical-care-unit-nccu |title=Ward A2 - Neurosciences critical care unit (NCCU) |website=Cambridge University Hospitals |access-date=18 November 2014}} and has the largest neurological intensive care unit of its kind in Europe. It is also a centre of excellence for renal services, bone marrow transplantation, cleft lip and palate reconstruction, treatment of rare cancers, medical genetics, and paediatrics. Addenbrooke's Hospital is also the designated regional centre for pancreatic, biliary and liver cancer surgery and tertiary referral centre for complex pancreatitis. It has 37 operating theatres, and in addition to the neurosciences (neurosurgery and neurology) critical care unit it also has an adult, a paediatric, and a neonatal intensive care service, and several high-dependency areas (adult, paediatric, transplant, surgical, coronary care).{{cite web|url=https://www.cuh.nhs.uk/corporate-information/working-for-us/healthcare-support-workers/where-could-i-work/theatres |title=Theatres | Cambridge University Hospitals |publisher=Cuh.nhs.uk |access-date=2018-07-29}}

The Cambridge Biomedical Campus has an on-site helipad, for the numerous air ambulances that visit - often transporting patients in a critical state to the major trauma centre at Addenbrooke's Hospital.{{cite web|url=https://www.eaaa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Issue-30-Spring-2013.pdf|title=East Anglian Air Ambulance {{!}} Helipad opens|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180220152040/https://www.eaaa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Issue-30-Spring-2013.pdf|archive-date=20 February 2018|url-status=dead}}

The campus is served by a busy bus station, located on its gateway roundabout, with up to 60 buses arriving there every hour. Addenbrooke's Hospital is directly accessible from three of Cambridge's five Park and Ride sites, of which Babraham Road and Trumpington are nearest.{{cite web |url=http://www.cuh.org.uk/corporate-information/finding-us/public-transport/park-ride |title=Park & Ride |website=Cambridge University Hospitals |access-date=18 November 2014}} The green Park and Ride buses from the Babraham Park and Ride stop at its main bus station, while the busway service A connects various locations around the site to Trumpington Park and Ride and the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway network. Busway service U from and to Eddington has a stop at the Madingley Road Park and Ride and one outside the hospital's outpatient entrance. All three services also stop at the Cambridge railway station.{{cite web |url=http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/40F67C0E-CB57-4327-A7BE-440650E8B822/0/CGBleafletweb.pdf |title=Cambridgeshire Guided Busway – Information About the Scheme |publisher=Cambridgeshire County Council |access-date=9 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080528012536/http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/40F67C0E-CB57-4327-A7BE-440650E8B822/0/CGBleafletweb.pdf |archive-date=28 May 2008}}

Various cycleways lead to Addenbrooke's Hospital and a new cycleway and footpath linking Great Shelford and Addenbrooke's Hospital opened in August 2006, which also marks the 10,000th mile of the National Cycle Network.{{cite news|url=http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Cycleway-route-hospital/story-22455387-detail/story.html |title=Cycleway route to hospital |newspaper=Cambridge Evening News |publisher=Local World |date=3 June 2014 |access-date=22 July 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151019114407/http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Cycleway-route-hospital/story-22455387-detail/story.html |archive-date=19 October 2015 }}

Parking is increasingly restricted, as former car parks are being built on, and staff, patients and visitors are encouraged to travel in by bus or bike. A new multi-storey car park with 1050 spaces for visitor and patient parking and a further 63 for disabled parking was opened on 18 April 2008. There is a customer service desk and concession tickets are available for outpatients with appointments.{{cite web |url=http://www.addenbrookes.org.uk/news/news2008/april/main_carpark_opens.html |title=New Addenbrooke's multi-storey car park opens |date=17 April 2008 |website=Addenbrooke's Hospital |publisher=Cambridge University Hospitals |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080829152553/http://www.addenbrookes.org.uk/news/news2008/april/main_carpark_opens.html |archive-date=29 August 2008 |access-date=18 November 2014}}

Transport remains something of a problem due to the volume of people arriving each day. There are approximately 8,000 car movements each day, but only 3,200 car parking spaces available (as of March 2004). With three proposed developments around the hospital, including an extension of the hospital site itself and two residential developments, traffic is expected to increase considerably. For this reason, work for a new access road from Hauxton Road in Trumpington to Addenbrooke's Hospital began in July 2007. The £25million new road opened in October 2010 and provides direct access from the M11 to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, home to the hospital.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-11634794 |title=Addenbrooke's Hospital access road officially opens |date=27 October 2010 |work=BBC News |access-date=18 November 2014}} It is expected to handle up to 25,000 journeys per day when nearby residential developments are complete. The route was originally intended for access to the hospital only and as such, entrances to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus are fitted with Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras to monitor traffic entering and leaving the site without stopping. The police have power to issue Fixed Penalty Notices to drivers who are not authorised to use the route.{{cite web |url=http://timstone.mycouncillor.org.uk/2010/05/27/no-shortcut-at-addenbrookes-access-road/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120728205758/http://timstone.mycouncillor.org.uk/2010/05/27/no-shortcut-at-addenbrookes-access-road/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-07-28 |title=No shortcut at Addenbrooke's access road |first=Tim |last=Stone |website=Tim Stone |publisher=Association of Liberal Democrat Councillors}}

The nearest railway station to the campus is {{rws|Cambridge}}. A new station, {{rws|Cambridge South}}, is intended to serve the campus from 2026 onwards.{{cite web |url= https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/cambridge-south-station-opening-pushed-31072972.amp | title= Cambridge South station opening pushed back | date= 24 February 2025}}

The hospital holds a free open day to allow members of the public to visit areas of the hospital which would usually be inaccessible. The tours include visits to the basement service corridors, the hospital's mortuary, the pathology laboratories, the hospital roof, and one of the operating theatres. In March 2016, over 5,000 visitors attended the event.{{cite web|url=http://www.cuh.org.uk/250/open-day|title=Open day - Cambridge University Hospitals|website=www.cuh.org.uk}}

{{Main|Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT)}}

Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT) is the independent registered charity for Addenbrooke's Hospital and its associated hospitals. Its aim is to support and promote the work of Addenbrooke's Hospital for the benefit of patients and staff, by raising extra funds to enhance services, facilities and research.{{EW charity|1048868}}

In 2010 the Hospital carried out CT scan on mummified child dating from the third century AD in the collection of Saffron Walden Museum.{{cite journal | last=Riggs | first=Christina | title=A Roman Period child's mummy in the Saffron Walden Museum | journal=The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology | volume=99 | issue=1 | date=2013 | issn=0307-5133 | doi=10.1177/030751331309900113 | pages=265–270| url=https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/id/eprint/47351/1/JEA_2013_Riggs.pdf }}

In 2011 an Addenbrooke's Hospital doctor placed a “do not resuscitate” instruction on a patient's notes without consultation with either the patient or the family. The patient later died, and following a court case in 2014 Addenbrooke's Hospital was found to have acted unlawfully in denying the patient life saving treatment.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-27886265|title=Legal duty over resuscitation orders|first=Michelle|last=Roberts|date=17 June 2014|via=www.bbc.co.uk}}

In 2012, Dr Narinder Kapur, consultant neuropsychologist and Head of the Neuropsychology Service won a case of unfair dismissal against Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Kapur raised patient-safety concerns, such as the use of unqualified staff in clinics, which were later vindicated by an internal report.{{Cite web|url=https://www.abetternhs.com/|title=A Better NHS | A fair and open NHS means better care for all|website=www.abetternhs.com}}

In 2015 an Addenbrooke's Hospital doctor was jailed for 22 years for abusing 18 boys at the hospital, between 2009 and 2013.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-31452387|title=Paedophile doctor breaks silence|date=13 February 2015|via=www.bbc.co.uk}}

In April 2016 Addenbrooke's Hospital was criticised for the treatment of Prof. Sir David J.C. Mackay. Mackay was unable to sleep, being kept awake by noisy staff, excessive heating, lights, and loud machinery that exceeded World Health Organization guidelines.{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/04/15/cambridge-professor-reduced-to-tears-by-noisy-hospital-before-de/|title=Cambridge professor reduced to tears by noisy hospital before death|first=Sarah|last=Knapton|date=15 April 2016|via=www.telegraph.co.uk}} Mackay was reported to be in tears, and died six days later.{{cite web|url=http://www.businessgreen.com/bg/news/2454762/acclaimed-expert-on-energy-and-engineering-sir-david-mackay-dies-aged-48 |title=Acclaimed expert on energy and engineering Sir David MacKay dies aged 48 |publisher=Businessgreen.com |date=2016-04-15 |access-date=2018-02-09}}

In 2016, Joan Hawes, who had attended Addenbrookes A&E with a suspected deep vein thrombosis, was reportedly discharged without investigations for deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or Venous thrombosis, and died overnight at home.{{Cite web|url=http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/pensioner-died-after-addenbrookes-missed-12410638|title=Addenbrooke's patient Joan Hawes, 77, died after her DVT was missed|first=Julian|last=Makey|date=5 January 2017|website=Cambridgeshire Live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-38506536|title=Addenbrooke's Hospital admits causing woman's death|date=5 January 2017|via=www.bbc.co.uk}}
