Our hospital is located in South Wiltshire and provides a wide range of services including:
Our District General Hospital is part of the Bath, North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board (BSW ICB) and delivers a broad range of clinical care to approximately 270,000 people in Wiltshire, Dorset and Hampshire.
Our hospital also includes the Duke of Cornwall Spinal Treatment Centre, a purpose built 45 bed unit, which specialises in caring for people who have spinal cord injury. It serves a population of 11 million covering an area across most of southern England.
We are also committed to serving and supporting our local Armed Forces community, our patients, our staff and their families. Our established and growing links to the Armed Forces and the veteran community are a priority for the hospital and are supported by our large number of serving and veteran staff, and our partnerships with the military communities we serve.
As the largest employer and anchor institution in South Wiltshire, embedded within our vibrant local community, we have the opportunity to make a difference to the health of our population beyond the provision of high quality patient care. We are continually modernising and diversifying our hospital so that we can make a broader contribution to our population health, reduce our carbon footprint to net zero by 2035 and promote economic development in and around south Wiltshire, Dorset and Hampshire.
Our hospital has been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment we provide for our patients and for our innovation, commitment and professionalism. This has been recognised in a wide range of achievements recently and it is also reflected in our award of NHS Foundation Trust status, which is afforded to hospitals that provide the highest standards of care.
