Welcome to The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust

Our hospitals

We provide a full range of general acute, outpatient and diagnostic services at The Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, the Herts and Essex Hospital in Bishop’s Stortford, and St Margaret’s Hospital in Epping.

We employ around 4,000 staff and serve a local population of about 350,000 people living in West Essex and East Hertfordshire, centred on the M11 corridor and the towns of Harlow, Bishop’s Stortford and Epping. Our extended catchment area incorporates a population of up to 500,000 and includes the areas of Hoddesdon, Cheshunt and Broxbourne in Hertfordshire.

We are currently working with system partners to transform how care is delivered for our patients to offer the highest quality, seamless care possible. Aligned with the three ambitious shifts set out in the NHS 10 Year plan: analogue to digital; treatment to prevention; and acute to community; we will take a central role in integrating services with other Trusts and our system partners, primary care, community services and mental health.

Building a hospital for the future. Together.

We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to build a new hospital that will transform healthcare for the people of Harlow and beyond.
