Vacancy Description
The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust was established in April 1995. It is a small to medium-size hospital with an annual income of circa £225million. It comprises 413 general and acute beds and provides a full range of general acute services, including a 24/7 emergency department, an intensive care unit, a maternity unit and a level II neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The Trust currently employs over 3,000 people and operates outpatient and diagnostic services from the Herts and Essex Hospital, Bishop’s Stortford, St Margaret’s Hospital in Epping and the Cheshunt Community Hospital. The Breast Unit at St Margaret’s Hospital is one of the largest breast cancer clinical trials facilities in Hertfordshire, Essex and North London.
The Trust serves a core population of about 350,000 and is the natural hospital of choice for people living in West Essex and East Hertfordshire, with a core population which is centred on the M11 corridor and the towns of Harlow, Bishop’s Stortford and Epping. Its extended catchment area (radius of 11 to 13 miles) incorporates a population of up to 500,000 and includes the areas of Hoddesdon, Cheshunt and Broxbourne in Hertfordshire, together with the south of the M25 in Essex being potential areas for growth.
