The hospital enjoys strong community support with over 200 volunteers at the Trust and over £6 million being raised by the independent Bedford Hospital's Charity over the past 10 years. The fantastic support from the hospital charity has enabled us to be able to build a dedicated cancer centre, the Primrose Unit, Cygnet Wing, the hub for our Women's and Children's services and the charity are currently raising money to refurbish our birthing suite and build a new birthing pool. The Trust's ethos is 'every patient matters', our vision is to provide patient focused high quality acute hospital care to meet the needs of our local community and we are constantly working with our staff to find new ways of working to ensure that our vision is achieved.
