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.
Patients undergoing short medical procedures can now administer their own pain relief thanks to a small handheld inhaler. The novel pain control method has been introduced at the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton and has completely eliminated the need for anaesthetic or intravenous drugs for patients using it.
Healthcare innovators from South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust were honoured at the annual Bright Ideas in Health Awards. The trust’s team behind work to improve treatment of vascular birthmarks were named as winners in the Outstanding Research Collaboration with the NHS category.
The Friarage Hospital in Northallerton has welcomed its first medical students from Hull York Medical School, as they embark on a new education initiative.
