Milton Keynes General Phase I opened in April 1984 and contained 361 beds and 4 operating theatres.  Phase II, commissioned in 1991, comprised 188 beds – only a portion of these Phase II beds are currently open but the final bed complement will be 529.  There are two theatre blocks totaling 8 working theatres, together with a treatment and diagnostic unit, which increases the total number of theatres to 12.  The hospital has a 9 bed Critical Care Unit offering invasive and non-invasive ventilation, intracranial pressure monitoring, haemofiltration and invasive cardiac monitoring. 

Specialities covered include:  general surgery, trauma and orthopaedics, urology, ENT, ophthalmic, vascular, emergency medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology and paediatric and day surgery.  The obstetric unit covers approximately 3000 deliveries per year, there is a 24 hour epidural service and twice-weekly elective caesarean section lists.  The hospital also has a chronic pain relief unit, CT scanning unit, community dental clinic, pathology and x-ray, the latter containing a fixed MRI scanner which is one of the most advanced in the UK.  The hospital is in the forefront of IT with the facility to view x-ray digitally in current use and the impending launch of the new CRS system.
