East Cheshire NHS Trust

East Cheshire NHS Trust We provide safe, effective and personal care to people across East Cheshire. East Cheshire NHS Trust was established in 2002.

It consists of three hospitals at Macclesfield, Knutsford and Congleton. Macclesfield District General Hospital was purpose-built in the early 1980s, replacing a much older traditional infirmary.
1924 saw the birth of Congleton War Memorial Hospital, paid for by public subscription after years of fundraising by local people as a memorial to those who died in the first world war. Knutsford Communit

y Hospital opened its doors in 1996 from refurbished, older buildings. Since 1 April 2011 East Cheshire NHS Trust has been an integrated community and acute trust providing healthcare across central and eastern Cheshire and surrounding areas, in hospital, at home and in community settings. With over 4,000 dedicated staff East Cheshire NHS Trust serves a population catchment area of approximately 450,000. By bringing acute hospital services and community services more closely together our aim is to ensure that patients receive the best care in the right place. The trust provides a comprehensive range of acute and community-based services, including A&E emergency care and emergency surgery; elective surgery in many specialties; maternity and cancer services. Our community health services include; district nursing, health visiting, intermediate care, occupational and physiotherapy, community dental services, speech and language therapy and palliative care. We also provide a number of hospital services in partnership with other local trusts and private providers, including pathology, urology and renal dialysis services. Inpatient services are provided from two hospital sites – Macclesfield
District General Hospital (main site) and Congleton War Memorial Hospital. Outpatient services are provided in Macclesfield District General Hospital and community bases in Congleton, Handforth, Knutsford, Wilmslow and Poynton. The trust benefits from a state-of-the-art Antenatal Department, Cancer Resource Centre, Discharge Lounge and the newly-built Renal Dialysis Unit.
