Living and Working in Yorkshire
Grimsby
Grimsby is situated on the Humber Estuary, and is a rapidly expanding town with excellent communications links including access to the main motorway system, Humberside airport and the Hull ferry terminal. With its history, it should be no surprise that it is the site of the National Fishing Museum. The geography of Grimsby and its environs gives successful appointees the option of living in town, in a nearby village or in the Lincolnshire Wolds which has been designated an area of outstanding natural beauty, and still have an easy drive to work
Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital
Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Trust was created in 2001 by the merger of N.E. Lincolnshire NHS Trust (Grimsby) with North Lincolnshire NHS Trust (Scunthorpe and Goole) forming an acute trust serving a catchment area of 500 square miles and a population of circa 410,000. The trust has a budget of £145 million and employs approximately 4700 staff. Clinical services are delivered in 3 hospital settings (Dianna Princes of Wales Hospital, Grimsby, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole & District Hospital).
The Diana Princes of Wales Hospital in Grimsby is situated on a single site, built in 1983 but recently considerably expanded. There are currently 523 beds and recent developments include the £1million dedicated Day surgery Unit, which opened in January 2003, a £ 11.8 million Women and Children’s Unit which opened in July 2004 and the new Endoscopy and Cardiology units which opened in 2005.
