About the Trust and opportunities
There has never been a more exciting time to join West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Major redevelopment works have started with completion of a new multi-storey car park with a plan to modernise the main acute hospital site at Watford General Hospital where up to 90% of buildings will be new, depending on which proposal is taken forward. The Trust has also implemented their digitalisation programme with the recent introduction of electronic patient records which has helped streamline patient record access, improve patient care as well as enhancing efficiency and productivity. There are also plans for new models of care such as developing a diabetes virtual hospital amongst others. As well as this, the trust won the UK Best Employer Award (Nursing Times 2019). The Trust has also recently been granted teaching hospital status in recognition of its wide and well-renowned role in educating doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
