This is an Acute, Community and Mental Health Services Trust with 454 beds and 779 nursing staff.
Hinchingbrooke Hospital, the District General Hospital for Huntingdonshire, became a second wave NHS Trust in April 1992. It reformed in April 1993 to include the Huntingdonshire Community Health Services and is the only fully integrated Trust in East Anglia.
Hinchingbrooke is a modern well equipped hospital on the outskirts of Huntingdon with 444 beds and day hospitals for the elderly and elderly mentally ill. There is a day centre in Huntingdon for adults with mental illness as well as smaller day centres in other towns.
Comprehensive community medical, dental, nursing and therapy services are provided in clinics in Huntingdon, St Ives and St Neots, in Ramsey Health Centre and in GP surgeries. We also provide health services in schools, training centres and in people's homes.
A number of our services are integrated - hospital with community - providing the opportunity to plan care in the most appropriate place, be it at home, in a clinic or in hospital.
"Big enough to matter but small enough to care"...
This is a phrase which expresses the first impressions of many staff joining the Hinchingbrooke team. They are struck by the friendliness and approachability of their colleagues. Turnover of staff is relatively low and they share a commitment to providing the best possible patient care in a professional but friendly way.
Working in this rural but accessible area the sense of community with the people whose health needs we support is very strong. The integration of both acute and community services to suit patient needs within the one Trust reinforces this focus of identity. Both patients and staff have a real ownership and involvement in the organisation.
