Hinchingbrooke Health Care NHS Trust

Welcome to Hinchingbrooke Hospital, operated by Circle Partnership

In February 2012, Hinchingbrooke became the first NHS hospital to be operated by a private partner.

Hinchingbrooke remains an NHS hospital, delivering NHS services, while its staff, building and assets remain in the NHS.

Hinchingbrooke is a forward-looking, friendly, efficient, safe and clean hospital, providing quality health care for the people of Huntingdonshire and surrounding areas, a population of approximately 161,000 people.

This website has been created to provide general information about the hospital and the services we provide, please explore our site and feel free to contact us to find out more.

Please note that visiting hours may be subject to change for infection control purposes.

Delivering Single Sex Accommodation Trust Compliance

Hinchingbrooke is proud to announce ‘that we are fully compliant in the DoH Standard on single sex accommodation, meaning that patients who are admitted to our hospital will only share the room where they sleep with members of the same sex, and same sex toilets and bathrooms will be close to their bed area. Sharing with members of the opposite sex will only happen by exception based on clinical need for example where patients need specialist equipment such as in ITU or CCU or when requiring close clinical observation such as stroke monitoring, or when patients choose to share for example when undergoing dialysis or chemotherapy.
