We are redeveloping our A&E department at Stoke Mandeville Hospital to ensure our facilities and environment continue to meet the needs of our population. Building works will be taking place over the coming months which may affect access and parking on site. Clear signposting and parking controllers will be in place to help guide visitors.

Stoke Mandeville Hospital is located on the edge of the market town of Aylesbury. Perhaps best known for its internationally acclaimed spinal injuries unit, Stoke Mandeville provides a wide range of services to Buckinghamshire and beyond including 24 hour accident and emergency, maternity, cancer care and outpatient services. The hospital also recently became a national bowel cancer screening programme site.

Stoke Mandeville has undergone extensive renovation in the past five years, as part of our ambition to provide the clinical excellence patients expect from top-quality, comfortable environments. New multi-million pound inpatient and outpatient buildings are now open, in the shape of the Claydon and Mandeville Wings.

The regional burns and plastics unit provides specialist services to a numerous patients, from as far away as Reading and Northampton. The hospital is also the base for eye care for the area.

Further development is planned for Stoke Mandeville, which treats over 48,000 inpatients and 219,000 outpatients a year. Projects include improvements to adults and children’s A&E, intensive care, the spinal injuries unit and burns and plastics outpatients. An innovative ‘medicinema’ is also planned, one of only three such facilities in the country. Medicinemas bring film entertainment into hospital for patients, with particular benefits for those facing long stays like our spinal injury patients.

Stoke Mandeville was very proud to receive the coveted three-year international CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation for excellence in the care of adults and children with spinal cord injury at the end of 2008, making us the first unit in the UK to receive such an award.
