Wiki-Links = |The Edith Cavell Hospital in the United Kingdom, opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second on 20 May 1988, is situated on a green field site in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The hospital is named after the Norfolk-born nurse and humanitarian, Edith Cavell, who received part of her education at Laurel Court in the Minster Precinct. [Daunton, Claire [http://oxforddnb.com/view/article/32330 Cavell, Edith Louisa (1865–1915)] "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography" Oxford University Press, 2004 (subscription required doi|10.1093/ref:odnb/32330, retrieved 30 April 2007)] It has 153 beds and currently provides ENT, Orthopaedic surgery and Urology services.

The hospital also contains three wards and a day activity centre for patients with mental health problems. These services are managed independently by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Mental Health Partnership Trust, based at Fulbourn Hospital in Cambridge. The Robert Horrell Macmillan Day Centre, which opened in 1991, is located on site and offers palliative care to patients living with cancer. Casualty and maternity are based at nearby Peterborough District Hospital in West Town.

Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the country's top performing NHS acute trusts. [ [http://www.healthcarecommission.org.uk/_db/_documents/NHS_Performance_Ratings_2005-2006.pdf The annual health check: assessing and rating the NHS] (pp.22, 34 & 69) Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection, October 2006] In 2004 it became one of the first ten NHS foundation trusts in England. Established in 1993, Peterborough Hospitals NHS Trust comprised two hospitals, Peterborough District Hospital and Edith Cavell Hospital. In 2002 Stamford and Rutland Hospital in Lincolnshire joined the trust.

A £300 million health investment plan will see the transfer of the city's two hospitals to a single site in 2010, by building a modern, flexible facility more suited to modern healthcare. The full planning application for the redevelopment of Edith Cavell Hospital was approved by the council in 2006. [ [http://www.healthplan.org.uk/ Greater Peterborough Health Investment Plan] Peterborough Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Peterborough Primary Care Trust and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Mental Health Partnership Trust (retrieved 23 April 2007)] The name Peterborough City Hospital was chosen by competition in 2008 and with the adjacent mental health unit, to be known as the New Gloucester Unit, will eventually form the Edith Cavell Healthcare Campus. A City Care Centre, run by Peterborough Primary Care Trust, will be built on the site of the Fenland Wing at Peterborough District Hospital and is due to open in 2009.
