Walnuttree Hospital is a vital part of the care provided by the Department of Medicine for the Elderly. It has 100 beds, three wards for consultant geriatric beds, one ward for GP beds, and a Day Hospital. There are also a variety of outpatient clinics serving the general population.

The hospital’s main building was constructed in 1836. The day hospital was extended in 1972.

A new hospital for Sudbury

The Trust has been working with Suffolk Health, Local Health Partnerships Trust, the Community Health Council and Sudbury Town Council on a project group to determine the requirements for health services in Sudbury.

The Walnuttree and St Leonard's Hospitals are in poor condition and need to be replaced. Having considered the health and social needs of the local population the project group has proposed an innovative model of care to meet those needs.

Involving a new build on land owned by the Trust known as Harps Close Meadow, it brings all the services together on to a single health and social care campus, providing a 40 bed community hospital giving wide ranging benefits to the community.
