About Us
The present Chapel Allerton Hospital was opened in 1994 by HRH the Duchess of Kent A modern purposebuilt facility it was one of the first hospitals in the country to have stimulating artwork included as an integral part of the design and provides a bright modern environment for staff patients and visitors
The new hospital was built on to the existing Newton Green Wing dating from the 1970s It is located in pleasant grounds with ample car parking
Chapel Allerton Hospital is one of the most popular facilities in the Trust with our patients receiving consistently positive feedback Staff work very hard to provide a friendly caring environment
The Chapel Allerton Orthopaedic Centre CHOC opened in the hospital in early 2005 and is the Trusts dedicated centre for the diagnosis management and treatment of adult patients with upper and lower limb complaints
Since it was established the service has helped to dramatically reduce waiting times for orthopaedic treatment and cut the length of stay following inpatient treatment for joint replacements by half
