The Trust & the Hospital
Royal Hampshire County Hospital
Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust serves a population of approximately 600,000 across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire in the South of England. Royal Hampshire County Hospital (RHCH) provides a full range of planned and emergency services including accident and emergency, general and specialist surgery, general medicine, intensive care, rehabilitation, chemotherapy, diagnostic services, maternity, neonatal, gynaecology, paediatric care and out-patient clinics. The site also houses Florence Portal House (which provides maternity, neonatal, breast screening and some gynaecology services) and an education centre.
In addition, Royal Hampshire County Hospital is pioneering the use of intraoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer treatment. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has links with other nearby NHS Foundation Trusts for some specialised services. RHCH teaches third, fourth and final year medical students from Southampton University Medical School and also students on electives from other parts of the United Kingdom. Students from St George’s University are fully integrated with these other medical students. The Education Centre has excellent facilities including an impressive library with a full range of relevant journals and books and internet access. Within the educational programme there are a number of tutorials, clinical skills instruction and grand rounds available for students on a regular basis.
