Peterborough City Hospital is a modern, purpose-built hospital on theEdith Cavell Healthcare Campus serving the city ofPeterborough, northCambridgeshire, areas of eastNorthamptonshire, areas of southLincolnshire andRutland. It is managed byNorth West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust.
The hospital was procured under aPrivate Finance Initiative contract in 2007 to replacePeterborough District Hospital and theEdith Cavell Hospital. It was designed by Nightingale Associates and built on the site of the Edith Cavell Hospital byMultiplex at a cost of £340 million and opened to patients in November 2010.[1] The official opening was carried out by theDuke andDuchess of Cambridge in November 2012.[2] In same month, theNational Audit Office reported that the Trust board's poor financial management and procurement of the scheme, which had been unaffordable, had left the Trust in a critical financial position.[3]
The bed hospital has a Cancer Centre, Cardiology Centre, a Women's and Children's Unit and Adult and Paediatric Emergency Centres. It features 4-bedded 'cruciform wards’ which creates a large personal space around each bed and maximises the availability of daylight. It opened with 611 beds.[4] TheBritish Red Cross provides support services to help avoid admissions or speed up discharge from the hospital.[5]
