This is an exciting time to join Milton Keynes University Hospital as we continue to invest in and expand our imaging services.

We have just opened the Oak Wards - a new ward block featuring two 24-bed wards.

Further investment is underway, including the recently approved Women and Children’s Centre, set to open by 2030.
