'''Addenbrooke's Hospital''' is a large [[teaching hospital]] in [[Cambridge]], [[England]], with strong links to the [[University of Cambridge]]. It was founded in [[1766]] on Trumpington Street with £4,500 from the will of Dr [[John Addenbrooke]], a fellow of [[St Catharine's College, Cambridge|St Catharine's College]]. This building is now the [[Judge Business School]]. In [[1976]], the hospital moved to its present premises on the southern edge of the city, and is now part of the [[Cambridge Bio-Medical campus]]. For a long time, this site was known as New Addenbrooke's, and still is by people who worked in the old one.

'''Addenbrooke's Hospital''' is a large [[teaching hospital]] and research centre in [[Cambridge]], [[England]], with strong affiliations to the [[University of Cambridge]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2012/apr/28/nhs-trust-plans-luxury-hotels/ |title=NHS trust plans to become next big name in luxury hotels |first=Daniel |last=Boffey |date=28 April 2012 |newspaper=[[The Observer]] |publisher=[[Guardian Media Group]] |access-date=18 November 2014}}</ref> Addenbrooke's Hospital is located on the [[Cambridge Biomedical Campus]].

It is also the East of England's [[major trauma centre]] and was the first such centre to be operational in the United Kingdom.<ref name=":0" />

==The clinical school==

The hospital is run by the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which is not a part of Cambridge University. However, there is close co-operation between the two organisations, and the University's [[University of Cambridge Medical School|medical school]] is also based on the Addenbrooke's site. The clinical school graduates approximately 140 new doctors every year. This is approximately half the total number of pre-clinical students who enter the University of Cambridge medical school (the remaining students usually continue their studies in either [[London]] or [[Oxford]]). The clinical course has recently increased in length from 2.5 to 3 years (to fall in alignment with other UK clinical courses and changes in postgraduate medical training)

==History==

==The Addenbrooke's site==

{{Infobox UK legislation

In recent years, the Addenbrooke's site has almost become a self-contained town. The hospital has its own airport-style shopping concourse (part of which remains open till late), food court, sports centre, and accommodation units. The shopping concourse was a notable first, being opened in 1989 and extensively refurbished and extended in 1999. Many more research organisations are now moving in too, as Addenbrooke's continues to evolve into a fully-fledged [[Cambridge Bio-Medical campus|biotechnology campus]].

The hospital was founded in 1766 on [[Trumpington Street]] with £4,500 from the will of Dr [[John Addenbrooke (philanthropist)|John Addenbrooke]], a fellow of [[St Catharine's College, Cambridge|St Catharine's College]].<ref name=archives>{{cite web |url=http://www.cuh.org.uk/cuh/services/non_clin/archive/history/history.html |title=History of Addenbrooke's and the Rosie |publisher=[[Cambridge University Hospitals]] |website=Addenbrooke's Archives |access-date=9 June 2008}}</ref> In 1962 the first building was opened on its present site,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cuh.nhs.uk/corporate-information/about-us/our-profile/history|title=Cambridge University Hospitals|website=www.cuh.nhs.uk|access-date=25 February 2019}}</ref> on the southern edge of the city at the end of [[Hills Road, Cambridge|Hills Road]]. The last patient left the Trumpington Street site in 1984 and the site was redeveloped in the 1990s – it is now occupied by the [[Cambridge Judge Business School]] (in the former main building), as well as [[Browns Restaurants|Browns Brasserie & Bar]] (in the former adjacent outpatients building).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.johnoutram.com/judge.html|title=Judge institute, Cambridge|website=www.johnoutram.com|access-date=8 February 2018}}</ref> A new elective care facility was procured under a [[Private Finance Initiative]] contract in 2004, It was built by [[Alfred McAlpine]] and designed by Llewelyn Davies Architects at a cost of £85 million and completed in spring 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.cam.ac.uk/news/clinical-and-research-centre-reaches-milestone |title= Clinical and research centre reaches milestone|date=7 November 2005|publisher=University of Cambridge|access-date=8 February 2018}}</ref>

==Services Notable staff ==

Addenbrooke's provides a full range of clinical services, with the exception of cardiothoracic surgery, which is provided at the nearby [[Papworth Hospital]]. Psychiatric services are split between Addenbrooke's and [[Fulbourn Hospital]]. Addenbrooke's is a tertiary referral centre for a number of specialities. Of note, it is one of the UK's six liver transplant centres and performs multivisceral transplants. It is a busy regional neurosurgical centre and has the largest neurological intensive care unit of its kind in Europe. It is also a centre of excellence for renal services, bone marrow transplantation, cleft lip and palate reconstruction, treatment of rare cancers, medical genetics, and paediatrics. It has 24 operating theatres, and in addition to the neurological critical care unit it also has an adult, a paediatric, and a neonatal intensive care service, and several high-dependency areas (adult, transplant, surgical, coronary care). The [[Rosie Maternity Hospital]] is attached to Addenbrooke's, and provides a full range of women's and maternity services.

In 2006, Addenbrooke's had 1,087 beds, 5,400 members of staff, and a budget of £304 million. It treated approximately 60,000 visits to Accident & Emergency, 55,000 inpatients stays, and 370,000 outpatient clinic visits.

* Alice Blomfield, (1866–1938) matron, 1905–1908<ref name=":1" />

Both these matrons trained at [[Royal London Hospital|The London Hospital]] under [[Eva Luckes]]. Luckes adopted [[Florence Nightingale]]'s belief that the new style of matron should be autonomous and solely responsible for their staff. However, as with the [[Guy's Hospital]] Dispute these new style of matrons sometimes had issues with the acceptance of their autonomy. Morgan felt that she had an issue with the acceptance of her authority by some medical staff, and left after three years.<ref name=":1" /><ref>House Committee Weekly Meeting, 11 June 1902; Addenbrooke’s Hospital Minute Book, 1901–1903; AHGR/3/1/1/36, 226–229; Addenbrooke’s Archives, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge</ref><ref>Arthur Rook, Margaret Carlton, and W.

==Transport==

[[File:DNA cyclepath to Shelford - geograph.org.uk - 538440.jpg|thumb|upright|Start of DNA cycle path]]

The large site is served by a busy bus station, located on its gateway roundabout, with up to 60 buses arriving there every hour. A cycle lane serving the Long Road area has just been recently opened. Transport remains something of a problem due to the sheer volume of people arriving each day. Parking is increasingly restricted, as former car parks are being built on, and staff, patients and visitors are encouraged to travel in by bus or bike.

===Bus===

The campus is served by a busy bus station, located on its gateway roundabout, with up to 60 buses arriving there every hour. Addenbrooke's Hospital is directly accessible from three of Cambridge's five [[Park and Ride]] sites, of which Babraham Road and Trumpington are nearest.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cuh.org.uk/corporate-information/finding-us/public-transport/park-ride |title=Park & Ride |website=[[Cambridge University Hospitals]] |access-date=18 November 2014}}</ref> The green Park and Ride buses from the Babraham Park and Ride stop at its main bus station, while the [[Cambridgeshire Guided Busway|busway]] service A connects various locations around the site to Trumpington Park and Ride and the [[Cambridgeshire Guided Busway]] network. Busway service U from and to Eddington has a stop at the Madingley Road Park and Ride and one outside the hospital's outpatient entrance. All three services also stop at the Cambridge railway station.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/40F67C0E-CB57-4327-A7BE-440650E8B822/0/CGBleafletweb.pdf |title=Cambridgeshire Guided Busway – Information About the Scheme |publisher=[[Cambridgeshire County Council]] |access-date=9 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080528012536/http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/40F67C0E-CB57-4327-A7BE-440650E8B822/0/CGBleafletweb.pdf |archive-date=28 May 2008}}</ref>

===Bicycle===

Various cycleways lead to Addenbrooke's Hospital and a new cycleway and footpath linking [[Great Shelford]] and Addenbrooke's Hospital opened in August 2006, which also marks the 10,000th mile of the [[National Cycle Network]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Cycleway-route-hospital/story-22455387-detail/story.html |title=Cycleway route to hospital |newspaper=[[Cambridge Evening News]] |publisher=[[Local World]] |date=3 June 2014 |access-date=22 July 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151019114407/http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Cycleway-route-hospital/story-22455387-detail/story.html |archive-date=19 October 2015 }}</ref>

===Car===

Parking is increasingly restricted, as former car parks are being built on, and staff, patients and visitors are encouraged to travel in by bus or bike. A new [[multi-storey car park]] with 1050 spaces for visitor and patient parking and a further 63 for disabled parking was opened on 18 April 2008. There is a customer service desk and concession tickets are available for outpatients with appointments.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.addenbrookes.org.uk/news/news2008/april/main_carpark_opens.html |title=New Addenbrooke's multi-storey car park opens |date=17 April 2008 |website=Addenbrooke's Hospital |publisher=[[Cambridge University Hospitals]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080829152553/http://www.addenbrookes.org.uk/news/news2008/april/main_carpark_opens.html |archive-date=29 August 2008 |access-date=18 November 2014}}</ref>

Transport remains something of a problem due to the volume of people arriving each day. There are approximately 8,000 car movements each day, but only 3,200 car parking spaces available (as of March 2004). With three proposed developments around the hospital, including an extension of the hospital site itself and two residential developments, traffic is expected to increase considerably. For this reason, work for a new access road from Hauxton Road in [[Trumpington, Cambridgeshire|Trumpington]] to Addenbrooke's Hospital began in July 2007. The £25million new road opened in October 2010 and provides direct access from the [[M11 motorway|M11]] to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, home to the hospital.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-11634794 |title=Addenbrooke's Hospital access road officially opens |date=27 October 2010 |work=[[BBC News]] |access-date=18 November 2014}}</ref> It is expected to handle up to 25,000 journeys per day when nearby residential developments are complete. The route was originally intended for access to the hospital only and as such, entrances to the [[Cambridge Biomedical Campus]] are fitted with [[Automatic Number Plate Recognition]] cameras to monitor traffic entering and leaving the site without stopping. The police have power to issue [[Fixed Penalty Notice]]s to drivers who are not authorised to use the route.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://timstone.mycouncillor.org.uk/2010/05/27/no-shortcut-at-addenbrookes-access-road/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120728205758/http://timstone.mycouncillor.org.uk/2010/05/27/no-shortcut-at-addenbrookes-access-road/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-07-28 |title=No shortcut at Addenbrooke's access road |first=Tim |last=Stone |website=Tim Stone |publisher=Association of Liberal Democrat Councillors}}</ref>

===Rail===

The nearest railway station to the campus is {{rws|Cambridge}}. A new station, {{rws|Cambridge South}}, is intended to serve the campus from 2026 onwards.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/cambridge-south-station-opening-pushed-31072972.amp | title= Cambridge South station opening pushed back | date= 24 February 2025}}</ref>

==Open days==

In 2010 the Hospital carried out CT scan on mummified child dating from the third century AD in the collection of [[Saffron Walden Museum]].<ref name=riggs>{{cite journal | last=Riggs | first=Christina | title=A Roman Period child's mummy in the Saffron Walden Museum | journal=The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology | volume=99 | issue=1 | date=2013 | issn=0307-5133 | doi=10.1177/030751331309900113 | pages=265–270| url=https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/id/eprint/47351/1/JEA_2013_Riggs.pdf }}</ref>

In 2011 an Addenbrooke's Hospital doctor placed a “do not resuscitate” instruction on a patient's notes without consultation with either the patient or the family. The patient later died, and following a court case in 2014 Addenbrooke's Hospital was found to have acted unlawfully in denying the patient life saving treatment.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-27886265|title=Legal duty over resuscitation orders|first=Michelle|last=Roberts|date=17 June 2014|via=www.bbc.co.uk}}</ref>

In 2012, Dr Narinder Kapur, consultant neuropsychologist and Head of the Neuropsychology Service won a case of unfair dismissal against Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Kapur raised patient-safety concerns, such as the use of unqualified staff in clinics, which were later vindicated by an internal report.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.abetternhs.com/|title=A Better NHS &#124; A fair and open NHS means better care for all|website=www.abetternhs.com}}</ref>

==Notes==

Dr [[Anthony Russell]], Bishop of Ely, was quoted as saying "I am sorry to know this is the practice currently being adopted by the hospital. I recognise there is a wide range of responses to this issue, but believe the disposal of foetuses should be undertaken reverently and with dignity."
