Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a large general hospital based across two sites, Luton & Dunstable University Hospital and Bedford Hospital. We have around 7,500 staff providing high quality care for a growing population of around 700,000 across Bedfordshire and the surrounding areas. The Trust has approximately 1057 inpatient beds across the two sites and provides a comprehensive range of general medical and surgical services, including Emergency Department (ED) and maternity services. Last year we provided healthcare services for over 153,000 admitted patients, over 700,000 outpatients and Emergency Department attendees and we delivered over 8,100 babies. Most outpatient services are provided on the Luton & Dunstable Hospital and Bedford Hospital sites. The Trust also provides community musculo-skeletal services (MSK) at three locations across the catchment area, including our Orthopaedic Centre situated further along Dunstable Road and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Diabetes services for South Bedfordshire. Outreach clinics for phlebotomy and therapies are also sited at the North Wing site in Bedford. At the Luton & Dunstable University Hospital site, we are planning development of an Acute Services Block and New Ward Block which are essential to support Maternity, Neonatology, Critical Care and Theatre services. This is planned to complete by the end of 2024. At our Bedford Hospital site we are investing in Emergency Department upgrades and car park developments. Our schemes will support staff in delivering the best care to patients in the best environment, and to improve patient experience.
