The Great Western Hospital
T he Great Western Hospital is a modern district general hospital providing emergency care, surgery, diagnostics, paediatrics, maternity, outpatients and day case services. The hospital opened in December 2002, replacing the Princess Margaret Hospital in Old Town Swindon. The new buildings are superbly designed and equipped, and they offer a first class environment for patients, visitors and staff, with over 30% of our beds provided in single rooms with en-suite facilities.
With more than 600 beds the Great Western offers a range of services and facilities from a busy Emergency Department boasting one of the best helipads in the country to a dynamic radiology department to a birthing pool. The trust has one of the lowest MRSA infection rates in the country.
The Trust works closely with private sector partner Carillion who maintain the building and provide important services such as portering, security and catering. The food in particular has received consistently high ratings in our ongoing surveys.
T he Brunel Treatment Centre
The Brunel Treatment Centre is a 128 bed state-of-the-art facility attached to the Great Western Hospital. It has been specifically designed to treat patients who need elective (planned) surgery and where patients are offered a pre-assessment health check to ensure they are fit and informed for that surgery.
The centre offers a bright, airy environment for patients and staff with a high level of equipment and facilities in every ward and room, all of which have their own en-suite toilets and showers. A third of the beds are in single rooms.
The Treatment Centre has five operating theatres and can share all the diagnostic, medical and surgical facilities available in the Great Western Hospital. The Brunel Treatment Centre has its own refreshment area called Café Blue, and ample car parking facilities.
S halbourne Suite
The Shalbourne suite is a 20 bed private patient unit within the Brunel Treatment Centre. All beds are in private rooms with en-suite facilities and with bedside entertainment and communication centre.
The suite has its own entrance and offers a top quality environment for patients who wish to be treated privately.
T he Shalbourne Suite benefits from having access to outpatient and consulting rooms and all the diagnostic, surgical and medical facilities available to the Great Western Hospital and the Brunel Treatment Centre.
Money raised by the Shalbourne Suite is re-invested in Trust Services and is therefore supporting the NHS whilst providing first class private health care.
Marlborough House
M arlborough House is home to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service.
In our therapy, we work with young people and their families, encouraging open, honest and meaningful communication. We aim to encourage flexibility and creativity.
The unit is self contained on the hospital site and offers both inpatient and day patient facilities. The inpatient unit has 12 beds, all single rooms, and this includes a dependancy area. We also have up to six places for young people to attend on a daily basis.
S avernake Hospital
Savernake Hospital is a modern, purpose-built community hospital with 24 general medical in-patient beds.
There is a thriving Outpatient Clinic where patients can choose to see Great Western Hospital consultants from departments such as orthopaedics, paediatrics, gynaecology, rheumatology, dermatology, neurology, urology, ophthalmology, ENT, audiology and general medicine or surgery.
The Radiology Department is digitally linked to the Great Western Hospital radiology department and offers this x-ray service to patients from GPs, Outpatients, Day Therapy services and the ward.
“GWH is a nice place to work (it is a nice shiny new hospital!), and is small enough to get to know most/all of the other juniors. I feel well supported. There is always a lot going on (medical wise) so there is lots of opportunity to learn. GWH is definitely close enough to commute from Bath or Bristol on a daily basis.”
