Welcome to Village Connect

Woodland Hospital, part of Ramsay Health
Care reached their 30th anniversary on 4th
June 2020. They are extremely fortunate to
have seven of their founding staff members
Jane Jackson, Deborah Harker, Karen
Reynoldson, Ian Fraser, Claire Smith and
Mary Green, and founding Consultants: Mr
Baranyovits (Consultant Ophthalmologist), Mr
Wood (Consultant Gynaecologist) and Mr Lee
(Consultant Ear, Nose, Throat Surgeon) still
working at the Hospital. Their 30th celebrations
have been postponed due to current restrictions;
however, they will endeavour to mark this
special milestone the best way they can.

The Hospital has undergone three site
developments over the three decades, most
recently a £8million investment in 2018. The
Hospital now has four laminar fl ow theatres,
28 inpatient rooms, a day-case unit, ten
consulting room, diagnostics unit including
a static MRI and mobile CT scanner and an
onsite physiotherapy department. Woodland
Hospital is committed to providing the highest
quality of care and outcomes, as well as be
the ‘number one’ private healthcare provider in
Northamptonshire.

Woodland Hospital is currently supporting
the National Health Service to assist with its
response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Members
of their clinical staff were deployed to Kettering
General Hospital’s ITU to care and treat
Covid-19 patients and to Northamptonshire’s
care homes to swab residents to protect the
most vulnerable in our local community. As
a Covid-free site, the hospital also continues
to support the local trust with cases such as
trauma, cancer and breast services.

David Munt, Hospital Director says: “We’re
immensely proud to have treated the
Northamptonshire community for 30 years.
I would like to thank our hard working and
dedicated staff and doctors (past and present)
and the continued support from our primary
care colleagues and patients. Patient care
is at the heart of everything we do and this is
refl ected in the Ramsay Way ‘People Caring for
People ‘, which has never been more true than
today.“
