From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frimley Park Hospital is a large, 700-bed NHS hospital in Frimley, Surrey, part of the Frimley Park Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
It opened in 1974 to provide a full range of district general hospital services for North East Hampshire and West Surrey, a catchment population of about 365,000. The catchment area includes Frimley, Camberley, Bagshot, Crowthorne, Sandhurst, Yateley, Fleet, Farnborough, Aldershot and Farnham. It gained NHS Foundation Trust status on 1st April 2005.
The Hospital was one of five selected in 1995 by the Ministry of Defence to host a Ministry of Defence Hospital Unit (MDHU), and this was established in February 1996. Military staff are integrated into the hospital workforce and treat both military and civilian patients.
It was the birth place of Lady Louise Windsor and Rugby Union World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson.
