Mid Cheshire NHS Hospitals Foundation Trust will develop a new health and care neighbourhood, which will include our new Leighton Hospital in Crewe.

We are doing this because our society is changing, with an aging population and increasingly diverse communities, there is a rising demand for healthcare, which is in part due to a higher number of people living with long-term conditions, and this is only set to increase. It’s clear the way healthcare is delivered must change. Not only to respond to the needs of today but be fit for the future of tomorrow.

Right now, Leighton Hospital is no longer fit for purpose and its structural life is coming to an end. As part of the national New Hospital Programme, Leighton Hospital is being reimagined and new land has been secured to build without the barriers of what’s been before.

This is a once in a generation opportunity to change how healthcare is delivered, and how each of us can play our part in creating the best, Healthier Future.

We are working together to create a new healthcare model — to create a place where people receive care in their homes and communities and can access services or go to hospital when they need to.

A place where resources are utilised well, and people are actively involved in their care. A place where technology, digital and data will help both proactive and personalised care be more effective, a place where we look after each other, we collaborate, where people join forces to improve the whole.

A place of 'Healthier Futures' for our people across Mid Cheshire.
