HMT St Hugh’s Hospital is a Super Green Site

We are pleased to report that HMT St Hugh’s Hospital is classified as a Super Green site, meaning that it is as clean and as safe as it can be for patients.

We have adapted the way we operate to increase patient safety during the Covid 19 pandemic. Although your visit to HMT St Hugh’s Hospital will look a little different to how it did before, we continue to offer exemplary patient care.

Your patient journey has changed in a few important ways to limit the number of people in the hospital and to ensure social distancing at all times.

We follow the advice and guidance outlined by the Royal College of Physicians, NHS England and the UK Government and review this on a regular basis.
