These services include general and specialist medicine, general Surgery, Trauma and Orthopaedics, and full Consultant led obstetric and paediatric hospital services for women, children and babies. Our values are at the heart of everything we do and come from our Everyone Matters promise. Every day they drive the behaviour and actions for every person in our organisation. The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and promote safeguarding by implementing the Trusts policies and procedures, acting promptly on concerns, communicating effectively and sharing information appropriately There are 447 acute beds on the hospital site, including 52 beds on the Acute Medical Unit (AMU).
