St. James's University Hospital in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, popularly known as Jimmy's, is one of the United Kingdom's most famous hospitals. Its fame derives in part from its extensive television coverage in the documentary series also titled "Jimmy's", screened by Yorkshire Television (YTV) between 1987 and 1994 with a theme tune performed by Snake Davis.
St James's was formerly claimed to be the largest teaching hospital in Europe. It is one of six centres which conduct liver transplants. St James's was the location of the first living-related donor liver transplant on the NHS. It is part of the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, along with the Leeds General Infirmary (LGI), Seacroft Hospital, Wharfedale Hospital, Chapel Allerton Hospital and until April 2008 (when it closed), Cookridge Hospital. Both St James's and the LGI are extensively involved in the teaching of medical students, nurses and junior doctors.
All of the Hospital buildings except Chancellor's Wing are named after surrounding streets in the Leeds suburb of Harehills (Chancellor's Wing is named after the then Chancellor of the University of Leeds, HRH The Duchess of Kent, who opened the building in 1972). The current Hospital wings are:
