The hospital offers a range of services including renal, haematology, cancer, and cardiology care. It also provides regional specialist heart attack center.
The hospital has a Christian chapel, Muslim prayer room, and multi-faith room. Patients can also access NHS Wi-Fi by searching for it on their mobile phone or laptop device and signing up.
A recent development includes the hospital joining the International Affiliate Network, becoming the first Affiliated Hospital Group in Europe. Additionally, two honorary consultants have been appointed as senior investigators by the National Institute of Health and Care Research.
The hospital is monitored against national standards and targets known as performance indicators. They provide an overview of how successful the hospital is at delivering healthcare. The hospital is also regularly inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
I visited the hospital twice for treatment and cannot praise the staff enough for their kindness, willingness to support, and availability. The wards are comfortable, clean, and spacious. I feel lucky to live near one of the best hospitals in the country.
