When inspected in 2021, the Care Quality Commission gave the Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust an overall ‘Good’ rating. Independently, Frimley Park Hospital was rated as ‘Outstanding’, Wexham Park Hospital was rated as ‘Good’ and Heatherwood Hospital was rated as ‘Good’.
With close to 10,000 employees across all our sites, Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust (Frimley Health) provides hospital and community services for 900,000 people in Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey and South Buckinghamshire.
Wexham Park and Frimley Park Hospitals were part of the first wave of Foundation Trusts achieving the highest star rating. With our continued improvements as well as our strong performance over the past few years, we benchmark well amongst some of the best trusts in the country.
Facilities and environment
Our hospitals are modern and well resourced – we know it makes a massive difference to our team to work with the latest equipment. There’s also a big emphasis on making our hospitals bright, vibrant places to be.
We have extended our infrastructure and made significant investment in our estates and in the latest technological advancements but have ambitions to do even more to meet the growing needs of our population.
Culture and colleagues
Our people are, and always will be, our greatest asset. Through our people we deliver outstanding care to our local population. We prioritise our people as those who feel valued and recognised, are able to make a great difference and provide the best care. Our support to help individuals develop, creates a positive and driven atmosphere. Supporting our people throughout their careers is also key to delivering the best care and outcomes for our patients.
Our predominantly flat management structure creates a collaborative team approach and makes all that are employed by the Trust feel valued and supported. Using this structure also makes senior managers more available and allows everyone in the team to have their own voice.
Over the wider organisation, the National Staff survey found that 89% of NHS staff believe their role makes a difference to patients and our service. A further 93% of staff feel trusted to do their job. Both these figures show the value that NHS staff feel working within their Trusts, and also represents how those within the Frimley Trust feel too.
