Every day, we witness extraordinary moments. First cries, first cuddles, and the quiet strength of mothers giving their all.
Today, we celebrate those moments, and the love that makes them possible.
We also hold gently in our hearts those for whom this day feels different.

National Patient Experience Week 27 April - 3 May

This week, we take a moment to pause, listen and reflect on what matters most to our patients. At ACHA, our focus is on Driving Trust by ensuring that every patient feels:
• Cared for
• Seen and heard as an individual
• Confident in the safety of their care

Patient Experience Week is about creating space for meaningful conversations , asking our patients what matters to them, what great care looks like through their eyes, and how we can continue to support them with compassion and respect.

A milestone moment for our team and our patients.

We’re proud to share that Ashford Hospital today successfully completed our first total knee replacement using the Zimmer Biomet ROSA Orthopaedic Robotic System. This advanced technology supports greater precision and personalised care, helping us deliver improved outcomes for our community.

A thank you to our leading Visiting Medical Officers, dedicated surgical, nursing and support teams who made this achievement possible.

We continue to invest in innovation and the future of patient care.
