With some of the lowest waiting times for surgery nationally, the hospital is the area’s major hub for planned surgical care. Our top class teams carry out over 24,900 operations every year. Wycombe Hospital sees more than 36,000 inpatients and 145,000 outpatients a year and the emergency medical centre sees more than 44,000 patients.

Wycombe is also home to a newly-refurbished midwifery-led maternity unit aimed at providing a more home-from-home environment for women and their partners. This provides women with a wider choice on style of care, and complements our full consultant-led maternity service at Stoke Mandeville.

There are plans afoot for the redevelopment of a number of departments, notably inpatient accommodation, to improve the environment throughout the hospital. We will keep you updated on progress through the website.

We are also working closely with NHS Buckinghamshire and local GPs to integrate primary care services better with all our hospitals through the Wycombe site. A GP led health centre was opened in 2009, ensuring that patients get the right treatment for their type of illness or injury at the right time, and in the right place. The health centre has improved access to GP services and offers both bookable and walk-in GP services.
