Some temporary changes have been made to services provided at the Friarage. These changes started to take effect from 27 March 2019.
Since 2002, the Friarage Hospital has been – and continues to be – an essential part of our organisation and an important point of delivery for the community. It is one of the smallest district general hospitals in the country.
Developments such as introducing lung cancer surgery, the opening of our MRI Scanner and the opening of The Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre, show our commitment to delivering as many services as possible from our Northallerton site.
Over £40million has been invested in the hospital over the past 15 years by the Trust, with support from NHS Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby CCG and the Friends of the Friarage.
Come and join us at our next nurse recruitment open morning to find out more about the great opportunities for nurses here at South Tees. The event at the David Kenward Lecture Theatre, The James Cook University Hospital, starts at 10am on Saturday 13 July and will end at approximately 12noon.
When South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust introduced its therapeutic care volunteer scheme in 2013 there were eight volunteers – today we have a growing community of more than 500! And this year sees the launch of our Therapeutic Support @ South Tees programme with all volunteers brought together under one team to help make a real difference to our patients and visitors.
A new virtual reality app is enabling young patients to ‘explore’ hospital corridors, wards and theatres before they attend for surgery. Using a smart phone app, children can trigger animated healthcare characters to tell them about what they do and what happens on the day of their surgery.
