About us
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust provides hospital-based services from three main sites - the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch, Kidderminster Hospital and Treatment Centre, and Worcestershire Royal Hospital in Worcester - as well as some community-based services.
We provide a wide range of services to a population of 592,158 people in Worcestershire as well as caring for patients from surrounding counties and further afield.
In 2022/23, we provided care to more than 250,000 different patients – that's 40% of the Worcestershire population that received care at one of our hospitals, including:
- 165,086 A&E attendances
- 143,956 inpatients
- 593,451 outpatients
- 4,875 births
We also carried out:
- 19,379 operations
- 21,407 MRI scans
- 71,378 CT scans
- 70,997 non-obstetric ultrasound scans
- 190,276 plain film X-rays
- 20,902 endoscopies
We employ over 7,000 people and over 130 local people volunteer with us helping to deliver care. We have an annual turnover of nearly £600 million.
Our catchment population extends beyond Worcestershire itself, as patients are also attracted from neighbouring areas including South Birmingham, Warwickshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and South Staffordshire. This results in a catchment population which varies between 420,000 and 800,000 depending on the service.
