Welcome
The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is a 580 bed, single site General Hospital located on the outskirts of Chester. We provide a range of medical services to more than 400,000 patients per year from an area covering Western Cheshire, Ellesmere Port, Neston and North Wales.
Patient Care is our primary focus and our aim is to be the preferred Hospital of Choice for both our traditional community and a wider area. Our last Annual Report shows that we achieved all English waiting time targets, meaning that not a single English resident waited more than six months for an operation or more than 13 weeks for an out-patient appointment.
We are continually striving to reduce our waiting times even further and improve patient care wherever possible.
Key Achievements
• The Trust won the prestigious 40Top Hospitals Award for the ninth consecutive year, one of only a handful of Trusts in the country to achieve this status.
• 18,000 (4.4%) more patients were treated at the Countess compared to the previous year.
• We reduced the incidence of MRSA by 37% and Clostridium Difficile by 47%, and achieved full and unconditional compliance with the Healthcare Commission’s Hygiene Code.
• The Trust reduced waiting times for both English and Welsh residents by 7 days – a 12% improvement.
• The refurbishment of two general wards as well as the Children’s Unit was completed, which formed part of a £13m estate and medical equipment investment.
• Public membership has increased by 25% to over 10,000 Trust members.
