Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is an NHS Foundation trust providing services in Hampshire, England. It was established in January 2012 as the result of the integration of Basingstoke and North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust and Winchester and Eastleigh Healthcare Trust. It runs Andover War Memorial Hospital, Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital and Royal Hampshire County Hospital.

Like many NHS hospitals the Trust has had difficulty in meeting the 4 hour target in its casualty department which has seen a rise of nearly 8% in patient numbers in the last year.[1]

The Trust is planning a new Critical Treatment Hospital to be built alongside a new £18.5m cancer treatment centre, on land at North Waltham, Hampshire. It would have a centralised obstetric labour unit and midwifery-led birthing centre, paediatric ward, central pathology laboratory, ambulance station, energy centre and a helicopter landing pad.[2] The total cost of delivering the hospital is expected to be £150 million, of which £120 million is the cost of building.[3]
