About us
The RBH is a busy district general hospital serving a population of over 900,000 and our ED sees approximately 140,000 patients per year with 25% of these being under 16 years old. We are a trauma unit operating within the Thames Valley Trauma Network. We have a 24hr cardiac catheterisation service and also run a 24hr stroke thrombolysis service.
Emergency Medicine is at the heart of the hospital's emergency care services and provides innovative and high quality care for patients from the moment they arrive at the hospital. It is a Consultant-led service with Consultants providing leadership and patient care on the 'shop floor' 08:00-00:00 seven days a week (including on-call cover at night). There is a strong commitment to ensure the ED is appropriately resourced to deliver high quality and timely emergency care. The trust has been and continues to be very supportive of the developments that are taking place to address the pressures resulting from increased emergency admissions and a greater acuity of cases which present.
