This is an exciting time for healthcare at The George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust.

THE NEXT exciting phase in the history of the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust was launched on Monday, March 3.

The Trust in Nuneaton has decided to make an application to the Secretary of State for Health to become a Foundation Trust.

But it would involve the community much more closely in developing services to suit local needs.
