Adults who stay in hospital for one or more nights during November may be invited to take part in a national adult inpatient survey. This survey helps us understand what patients think about the care they received.

The annual survey is part of the NHS Patient Survey Programme, managed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and focuses on the experiences of patients aged 16 and over. If you are selected, you will receive a questionnaire by post.

Feedback from previous surveys has already led to improvements in patient experience at MKUH. If you are invited to take part, we strongly encourage you to share your views.

Meet MKUH Governor - Michael Derosaire, who represents Public Constituency C in and around the centre of MK.

Michael said, “I am pleased to join the MKUH Team as Public Governor. The opening of the hospital was transformative to the local population, and I am very pleased to see that it continues to grow, both in terms of size and in the breadth of treatments that are becoming available, and for this we have the senior management team - headed by Chief Executive Joe Harrison - to thank.

“The old saying is that ‘nothing comes from nothing’, and it is good for the soul to roll up your sleeves and get involved. I look forward to being a small part of the team - supporting those committed to ‘being there' at the point of need, when need is most felt to help make our hospital the best it can be.”

🎄The MKUH Christmas lights are officially on!

Thank you to our patient, Angela, and her daughter, Linda, who volunteered to switch on the hospital's festive lights alongside our Chair, Heidi Travis and the one and only Father Christmas.

Being in hospital at this time of year can be extra hard for patients, and it is also a very busy period for all of our colleagues. So, for many, the bright and joyful lights can help to lift spirits. If you visit us, we hope that you enjoy them.

Special thanks to our wonderful Estates team for making the magic happen!

We’re excited to share that we are expanding our surgical capacity with the addition of two new operating theatres. This investment reinforces our commitment to reducing patient waiting times and meeting the needs of our growing local community.

The modern, purpose-built theatres will allow for more elective procedures to be scheduled, helping patients access treatment sooner. Construction will begin shortly, with completion expected in spring 2026.

This week, young patients on our children’s ward enjoyed a magical performance by Eek & Wild, a contemporary dance group.

Organised by Arts for Health - Milton Keynes, the event is part of a special series bringing movement and creativity to our wards, drawn from the hospital’s art collection.

By sparking curiosity and self‑expression, these sessions provide therapeutic and developmental benefits, helping create a space of inspiration and joy for children and their families.
