The Countess of Chester is the main NHS hospital for Chester and its surrounding area. The site was officially opened in 1984. It currently has 625 beds, general medical departments and a 24-hour accident and emergency unit. ==Current site== The hospital, which was one of the first Foundation Trusts, is generally considered to be of a high quality. It has consistently received the top 3-star rating in the national performance charts. The hospital mainly comprises two or three storey buildings across the site. Most are interconnected with walkways, a large glass 'sky-bridge' links the main hospital to the paediatric and pre-natal department. It has a new extended outpatient wing known as the CARE building or Outpatients Four. Opened in January 2006, it houses the Cardiac Catheter Laboratory, Department of Clinical Audiology, Renal & Urology Department and ENT Department. In 2007, the Countess of Chester became the first hospital in the UK to completely ban smoking for both workers and patients.〔(Hospital "stubs out" bad example ), ''Real Story'', BBC News, 2007-01-24〕 In April 2014 a new two storey wing was opened containing a state of the art 21 bed Intensive Care Unit on the first floor, replacing the old HDU and ITU wards. On the ground floor is an expanded endoscopy unit and the bariatric outpatients department. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
