Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) signed the Armed Forces Covenant in 2021 and and was awarded the Gold award in the Defence Employer Recognition scheme in 2023. MKUH has an Armed Forces Staff Network (AFSN) in place from July 2021. It’s a collective of employees who are Regular/Reserve, Veterans, family members, the AF Bereaved, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers (CFAV) and supporters of the Armed Forces. It aims to raise awareness and represent the views of the AF employee community and also service users at MKUH. The group meets bimonthly and lead on the work in providing support and care for patients who are veterans as well as a chance for staff to get together, share experiences and support one another.
Our dedicated Armed Forces Covenant Support Officer is available to all staff with a forces link to provide information, support, guidance and information, and knows the local area really well so can help families new to MK. As a forces spouse herself, she understands the unique obligations of service family life.
About us
MKUH is a medium sized district hospital that provides a full range of acute hospital services and an increasing number of specialist services to the growing population of Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas. With around 550 beds and employing more than 4,000 staff, the hospital sees and treats approximately 400,000 patients each year comprising of both outpatient and emergency attendances.
All inpatient services and most outpatient services are provided on the main hospital site. The Trust is organised into four clinical divisions (medicine, surgery, women and children and core clinical) and a number of corporate directorates. The executive directors, and clinical service unit (CSU) leadership teams, are responsible for the day-to-day management and running of the hospital’s services, with ultimate management accountability resting with the Chief Executive.
Over the last 10 years, the Trust has invested significantly in its site and a number of further developments are planned for the coming years as the health demands of the local population change.
