ListsHospitals in England

Addenbrooke's Hospital is a large teaching hospital in Cambridge, England, with strong links to the University of Cambridge. It was founded in 1766 on Trumpington Street with £4,500 from the will of Dr John Addenbrooke, a fellow of St Catharine's College. This building is now the Judge Business School. In 1976, the hospital moved to its present premises on the southern edge of the city, and is now part of the Cambridge Bio-Medical campus. For a long time, this site was known as New Addenbrooke's, and still is by people who worked in the old one.

The clinical school

The hospital is run by the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which is not a part of Cambridge University. However, there is close co-operation between the two organisations, and the University's medical school is also based on the Addenbrooke's site. The clinical school graduates approximately 120 new doctors every year. This is approximately half the total number of pre-clinical students who enter the University of Cambridge medical school (the remaining students usually continue their studies in either London or Oxford). The clinical course has recently increased in length from 2.5 to 3 years (to fall in alignment with other UK clinical courses and changes in postgraduate medical training)

The Addenbrooke's site

In recent years, the Addenbrooke's site has almost become a self-contained town. The hospital has its own airport-style shopping concourse (part of which remains open till late), food court, sports centre, and accommodation units. The shopping concourse was a notable first, being opened in 1989 and extensively refurbished and extended in 1999. Many more research organisations are now moving in too, as Addenbrooke's continues to evolve into a fully-fledged biotechnology campus.

Services

Addenbrooke's provides a full range of clinical services, with the exception of cardiothoracic surgery, which is provided at the nearby Papworth Hospital. Psychiatric services are split between Addenbrooke's and Fulbourn Hospital. Addenbrooke's is a tertiary referral centre for a number of specialities. Of note, it is one of the UK's six liver transplant centres and performs multivisceral transplants. It is a busy regional neurosurgical centre and has the largest neurological intensive care unit of its kind in Europe. It also has an adult, a paediatric, and a neonatal intensive care service. The Rosie Maternity Hospital is attached to Addenbrooke's.

Transport

The large site is served by a busy bus station, located on its gateway roundabout, with up to 60 buses arriving there every hour. A cycle lane serving the Long Road area has just been recently opened. Transport remains something of a problem due to the sheer volume of people arriving each day. Parking is increasingly restricted, as former car parks are being built on, and staff, patients and visitors are encouraged to travel in by bus or bike.

Open day

The hospital holds a free open day every two years allowing members of the public to visit areas of the hospital which would usually be inaccessible. The tours are colour coded according to the areas of the hospital they involve. Some of the tours available include:

  • The Basement Tour (Blue) - Takes place on a moving tug in the basement service corridors, and involves listening to various facts about the hospital buildings and equipment.
  • The Mortuary Tour (Red) - Involves a visit to the hospital's mortuary, with information about the various processes used after death.
  • The Pathology Tour (Purple) - A tour of the pathology laboratories, learning about the causes and treatments of disease.
  • The Sky Tour (Light Blue) - Takes place on the hospital roof, mainly giving information about the surrounding buildings and services.
  • The Theatre Tour (Green) - Involves a visit to one of the operating theatres, learning about the procedures and equipment used during surgery.

The next open day is scheduled for Saturday 17th May 2008.

Controversy

In 2006 the Daily Mail claimed the hospital has been using their main incinerator to burn aborted babies except in cases where the baby reached at least 24 weeks. In this case the body was disposed of at a crematorium.

Dr Anthony Russell, Bishop of Ely, said: "I am sorry to know this is the practice currently being adopted by the hospital. I recognise there is a wide range of responses to this issue, but believe the disposal of foetuses should be undertaken reverently and with dignity."
