Media and Communications

All media enquiries relating to the hospital, its staff, patients and their families are handled by our Communications team.

The role of the team also includes writing press releases on the latest news and events at the Trust, responding to media queries, producing internal and external publications and the maintenance of the Trust’s social media feeds. 

During office hours, all media and press enquiries should be directed to the Communications team by calling 01902 695884 or by email to Amy Downward, Communications Lead - Press and Media amy.downward@nhs.net.

For any media and press enquiries out-of-hours please contact the hospital switchboard on 01902 307999 who will direct your call to an appropriate member of staff.
