The team here at Kidderminster
Hospital are proud of the wide
range of services we are able to
offer patients from Wyre Forest and
surrounding areas.
Patients now have more choice than ever before
about where they go for their hospital care. We have
put together this leaflet to tell you more about who
we are and what we do so that if you have to make
that choice you have the information you need.
If you are told by your GP that you may need tests
or treatment in hospital, we hope that the first
question you ask them is: “Can I have it done at
Kidderminster?”
The full list of treatments we offer is too long to fit
into this booklet but we have listed some of the main
treatments we offer here. Your GP will also be able
to give you more advice.
We offer high quality care tailored to your needs and
delivered by highly trained and experienced teams
in a safe and clean environment.
