New name for hospital trust
To mark the successful integration of Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS Trust with Community Health Buckinghamshire, which took place in April 2010, the new organisation has announced its new name, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust.
Anne Eden, chief executive, said, “We felt it was important to change our name to reflect the wide range of services we now offer patients from our hospitals and also in community settings and in people’s own homes.
“The integration is a really exciting time for healthcare in Buckinghamshire as it gives us many opportunities to provide more streamlined accessible services for people closer to their homes.”
In addition, discussions took place with staff across the organisation alongside patient representatives to evolve our five patient promises to reflect our extended range of services which underpin everything that we do:
- Clean and safe practice, clinics and hospitals so you never need to worry unduly
- A caring, helpful and respectful attitude from approachable teams, who listen to you, involve you in decisions about your care and ensure you’re clear about what to expect
- Respect for your time with care closer to home, offering choice and flexibility with a minimum of delays and cancellations. If you need to stay in one of our hospitals, we’re making sure your stay is as short as possible, ensuring that you return home as quickly as possible
- Easy access to comfortable and modern facilities, offering privacy and dignity, personal space and good healthy food. We’re committed to offering the best care in environments that promote health and wellbeing
- The best clinical care from teams of skilled healthcare professionals, who help you improve and maintain your health.
