Staff at Wantage Community Hospital are celebrating after receiving a string of five-star independent reviews from patients.

The hospital, which launched a range of new services and clinics three months ago in newly refurbished rooms at the site, is at the centre of the community and is convenient for people who may otherwise have to travel further afield.

One patient said: “It is fantastic for local people.”

Sheree Martin, Head of Operations for Community Services, said: “It is really nice to see that the hard work that went into refurbishing the rooms at the hospital is paying off with the feedback that we have had from patients.

“The team here is quite new but everyone works really hard to make sure that all visitors have a good experience.”

Another patient added: “The staff were friendly, and the appointment ran on time.”
