 Weston
is a 327 bed hospital with 1,800 staff. The Trust is making good progress
all the time. The Trust is required to make an annual declaration to the
Care Quality Commission, on its assessment against the 44 Core Standards.
This replaces the
Annual Health Check by the independent
Healthcare Commission. See the
Trust's declaration for 2008-2009.We want to help you to get the
right treatment at the right time. For visitors find out about
visiting times and
advice on
useful things to bring for patients or why not get a request played on
Sunshine Radio for a relative or friend in the hospital.

Emergency department,
Intensive Care Unit and
Day Case Unit. We
also have a new
acute
ward and
community
children's services.
Our
maternity unit is the
largest midwifery-led unit in the country.

floor of the Hospital we have a Chapel
and the Chaplain is Dawn Mather - find

 When visiting the hospital, please help us to
keep the NHS smokefree by NOT smoking in either the hospital buildings or
grounds.
Smoking is NOT permitted outside the hospital because it drifts through
clinic and office windows and exposes staff and patients to second-hand
smoke.
Within
the Trust we do our best at all times to ensure we look after you well. If you
have any concerns please contact our
Patient Advice and Liaison Service
who
can provide help, advice and support for patients, relatives, visitors and
carers.
