Medical Records is based within Leighton Hospital and is made up of a variety of teams which all help with the patient experience with the Trust, from the moment they register and throughout their patient journey from booking Appointments, managing waiting lists, preparing patient records and being the welcoming face of the trust in Outpatient Reception.
