Hinchingbrooke Hospital is the local hospital for 161,000 people in the Huntingdonshire area, providing care and treatment for inpatients, outpatient and day cases.
The hospital was originally at the County Hospital on Brampton Road in Huntingdon. When the need was identified for a much larger hospital, work began on the current site in the late 1970s. The hospital was completed in 1983 and opened by the Duchess of Gloucester.
The Woodlands Centre, a later addition paid for by fundraising by the hospital and Macmillan offers care, support and outpatient treatment for cancer patients and others with a terminal illness.
In December 2001, the hospital opened a new 20 bed medical assessment unit, which has reduced demand on both accident and emergency and the other wards.
Further refurbishments have taken place in outpatients, with the first phase paid for with a grant of £750,000 from the Department of Health in recognition of the advances made in modernising our dermatology service.
The new £22 million Huntingdon Treatment Centre was officially opened by HRH the Princess Royal in November 2005.
Our new £6.5 million emergency care centre was fully operational from January 2007. It provides a state of the art environment for our high performing Accident and Emergency service, and out of hours GP, social and emergency mental health services.
