Frimley Park Hospital is a large, 700-bed Trust serving a catchment population of 365,000. It was opened in 1974 to provide a full range of district general hospital services for the population of North East Hampshire and West Surrey.
The Hospital and its staff aim to provide the highest level of care, treatment and comfort for patients by:
Offering a range of acute services
Employing good practices in clinical care and management to ensure the most effective use of resources
Recognising the dignity of individuals
Enabling staff to realise their full potential
Working in close co-operation with other care agencies
With a staff of around 2,500 and an annual turnover of over £75 million, the Hospital is one of the largest local employers and more than 90 per cent of its doctors, nurses, technicians, scientists and support staff come from the surrounding community.
The Hospital has strong links with many local organisations, particularly schools and colleges.
The local population has steadily expanded since 1974, with a consequent increased demand for acute services. The growing use of day surgery, advances in medical technology, the desire to achieve Patient's Charter standards and the constant effort to reduce waiting times have dramatically increased the workload. It is likely that half of the Hospital's 365,000 catchment population now comes into contact with the Hospital during a single year.
In recognition of the need for additional facilities to meet the needs of the local community, the Trust began a major expansion programme in 1992 at a cost of over £37 million. It includes:
New Accident & Emergency Department
Redevelopment of Intensive Care
Two additional Operating Theatres
Expansion of Special Care Baby Unit
New Gynaecology and Antenatal Clinic
Redesigned Main Entrance
Redesigned Labour Unit
New 100-bed Medical Unit
Modernisation of Pathology Department
Extension of Postgraduate Medical Education Centre
Dedicated Genito-Urinary Medicine Clinic
Teenage Unit
The establishment of the Ministry of Defence Hospital Unit has played a critical part in absorbing the extra workload following the closure of the Cambridge Military Hospital. MDHU staff have been successfully integrated into Frimley's clinical structure, treating both MOD and civilian patients.
The Hospital has provided a sound training base for post-graduate doctors and nurses, and MDHU staff have brought additional skills and expertise for the benefit of the local community.
