Barnet General Hospital is a hospital in Barnet, north London, run by Barnet and Chase Farm NHS Hospitals Trust as part of the UK National Health Service.

[edit] Overview

Barnet Hospital was modernised between 1999 and 2002 through a PFI project.^[1] It was re-opened by HRH The Princess Royal in February 2003.

The trust received a one star rating in 2005. The hospital has 445 beds out of the 954 available in both hospitals of the trust.

The pyschiatric unit unit at Barnet General Hospital is currently undergoing renovation, and has been temporarily relocated to Edgware Community Hospital.

[edit] Transport Links

Barnet General hospital is served directly by three Transport for London bus services. These are:

• 263 (stop B1, starts/terminates here, to Archway tube Station)
• 384 (stop B2, Cockfosters tube station to Barnet (Quinta Drive))
• 634 (stop B1, starts/terminates here, to Muswell Hill Broadway - school service only).

The 384 also servers the 24-hour Accident and Emergency unit at Barnet General Hospital (located further down Wellhouse Lane) as part of the hail and ride section of this bus route, although the bus itself runs only between 05.59 and 00.14.

Further Transport for London buses 107, 307 and 614 stop a short walk away from the hospital: in Wood Street, stops B3 and B4.
