Broomfield Hospital
Broomfield is a very busy district general hospital situated three miles north of Chelmsford. The hospital is part of the Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust and has a catchment area of over 360,000 people and treats over 60,000 patients per year in its A&E department. It has a busy Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery Department with full daily trauma operating lists. Mr Rees is one of nine Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons at the hospital. The Department carries out just under 3000 elective operations per year and is very active in the training of junior surgeons. Broomfield Hospital has obtained national recognition for its low infection rates and its management of broken hips. It has also been recently given an ‘excellent’ rating for patient care by the Healthcare Commission and the hospital is currently undergoing massive redevelopment as part of a PFI project.
Springfield Hospital
Springfield Hospital is one of Essex’s leading private hospitals and is situated on the outskirts of Chelmsford. It opened in 1987 and now has 67 bedrooms all with en suite facilities. There are five fully equipped theatres which are particularly suitable for orthopaedic procedures such as knee and hip replacements. Mr Rees undertakes most of his major private surgery at this hospital. The hospital also has excellent CT & MR imaging facilities and offers a very experienced physiotherapy service.
Chelmsford Medical Centre
The Chelmsford Medical Centre is a brand new state of the art medical and imaging centre. It was established in April 2006 and is centrally located in Chelmsford just across from the Essex County Cricket ground in New London Road. It is run by MedTel UK and the centre is the second of the group’s medical practices in the UK; the first being opened in the City of London in 2005. The Centre offers a wide range of day case surgical and diagnostic procedures and there is a modern operating theatre suite ideal for arthroscopic and ACL reconstruction surgery.
