I am trying to trace the hospital where a relative worked does anyone know if any records exist that would help.
Try searching Access to Archives, it covers hospitals and the records that are kept. If you relative was a doctor try searching the institute they studied in or as in my relatives case, his obitory was in the British Medical journal which is archived in the Wellcome Trust (A2A.org.uk)(wellcome.ac.uk). I'm not sure about nursing staff, but there must a record kept wherever they trained.
Hi David,
Just seen your other posting, alot of the hospital records are not accessable for 100 years, so if you are looking for a living person, then you may not be able find what you are looking for. Try posting on genesreunited they are quite successful at finding people.

This is the site for tracing hospital records both patient and employee:
Employee records are not subject to the 100 year rule, only patient records but most of those apart from bare bones on admission and discharge will probably have been destroyed.
If they worked in the National Health Service (from 1948) then the chances are better and records should be held in a local archive or the current health trust. The National Health Service was reorganised in 1974 so that cut-off date may be of some relevance in that the districts were changed.
