If you have visited the Hinchingbrooke site recently, you will have seen the significant progress being made on our new staff accommodation building, Willow House.
Built by Zed Pods Ltd, Willow House will provide modern, comfortable accommodation for student doctors, nurses and on-call staff. It will replace the existing staff accommodation, which is due to be demolished over the coming months to make way for the future hospital development.
Construction is progressing well, with all four levels of the first block now in place. The next phase of work includes the delivery of the second accommodation block and the refurbishment and relocation of Captain Sir Tom Moore House, currently located near the Estates and Facilities area.
The Treatment Centre Car Park (Car Park 2) will be temporarily closed on weekends throughout August:
• Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August
Clearly signposted alternative arrangements will be in place. Patients will be directed to use the staff car park at the front of the hospital during these periods, and no parking charges will apply while the Treatment Centre Car Park is closed.
There will also be an increase in delivery vehicles accessing the site. Traffic marshals will be on hand to support safe vehicle movement, but please allow additional time when travelling to and from the hospital.
You may also notice occasional periods of increased noise during working hours and some weekend activity, helping to minimise disruption during the week.

Hinchingbrooke Hospital is more than just a set of buildings. It sits within a network of green spaces, on walking routes, close to the country park, in the middle of where people live.

The new hospital is a chance to think about the whole site and not just the building. Paths and planting. Somewhere to sit outside. Outdoor space a patient in recovery can actually reach. A place people are glad to walk through, not only somewhere they come when they are unwell.

If you are out and about this bank holiday weekend, five minutes is all it takes to tell us what the wider site should be. Tell us what you think by 27th September: hinchingbrookehospital.commonplace.is

As with most things in life - there is no 'one size fits all', and this is true when it comes to learning. Staff across the Trust have access to an audio library which is helping to future proof digital healthcare learning.

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer, so it’s important to take up your invitation when it arrives.
If you’ve missed your cervical screening, the NHS may invite you to take an HPV self-test instead. If invited, you can order a kit, take your sample at home or somewhere private, and return it free by post.
You can’t opt in to HPV self-testing – if you’re eligible, the NHS will contact you.
