Our mission: "Milton Keynes is a hospital committed to learning, to honesty, and to the best possible care and experience for every patient, every time."​ About us: Milton Keynes Hospital occupies a 60-hectare site to the south of the city centre. We are a medium sized district general hospital, serving Milton Keynes and surrounding areas. The hospital has approximately 400 inpatient beds, and provides a broad range of general medical and surgical services.
