The trust has a turnover in the region of £294 million and employs over 3000 people.

The hospital provides a full range of general acute services for the local population and a range of specialist services for patients from further afield. These include perinatal (level 3 NICU) and fertility services, bariatric and laparoscopic surgery, and stroke and neuro-rehabilitation.
