Peterborough City Hospital was built in 2010 and has 623 beds. The new building brought improved services and facilities to the city – including a state-of-the-art Radiotherapy Unit, an Emergency Centre with a separate children’s emergency department, a dedicated Women and Children’s unit, an expanded Cardiac Unit, alongside a new respiratory investigations facility.

 

Hinchingbrooke is midway between Cambridge and Peterborough and provides health care for the people of Huntingdonshire and surrounding areas. More than 160,000 people rely on it and its range of acute hospital services, with patients able to access an almost complete range of specialties. Major developments have included the Treatment Centre, a £22m unit which opened in 2005. The Mulberry Suite is a newly renovated, seven bedded en-suite private patient ward for elective patients.

 

The hospital in Stamford has 22 in-patient beds and provides outpatient clinic services, a minor injuries unit, day-case surgery and is the base for the Trust’s chronic pain management services.

 

In order to meet increasing demand it was necessary to expand services and improve existing facilities. The redevelopment project (December 2016-July 2017) delivers a wide-range of improvements.

Peterborough is close to the charming and varied countryside of Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Rutland. As a “new town” it has excellent road transport links including the A1M and is only a 50 minute train journey into Central London.

 

Pleasant countryside surrounds Peterborough, punctuated by picturesque villages and bustling market towns. At the north of Cambridgeshire and close to the counties of Lincolnshire, Rutland, Northamptonshire and Norfolk, the surrounding area is varied and rich in character.

 

Stamford is generally acknowledged as one of the most historic and beautiful stone-built towns in England. The town’s intricate street patterns retain their medieval design with narrow passageways and cobbled streets housing a wealth of architecturally important buildings and interesting shops.

 

Peterborough is proud of its excellent education facilities – over 30 new schools and major extensions have opened since 1970. South Lincolnshire schools have a number of outstanding comprehensive schools as well as retaining a grammar school system. In the independent sector there are five boys’ schools (including Uppingham School), three girls’ schools and four mixed (including Oakham, Stamford and Oundle Schools) – all within daily travel of Peterborough and all taking boarders also.
