The Lister is a 480-bed district general hospital in Stevenage.

It offers general and specialist hospital services for people across much of Hertfordshire and south Bedfordshire and provides a full range of medical and surgical specialties.

General wards are supported by intensive care, high dependency and coronary care units, as well as pathology, radiology and other diagnostic services. There are specialist sub-regional services in urology and renal dialysis.

Over the next few years, the Lister will receive an investment of at least £100 million as it is expanded to become the centre for emergency and acute hospital care for east and north Hertfordshire and south Bedfordshire.

Sub-regional services

We also provide sub-regional services based at the Lister in:

• Urology – including robotic surgery
• Renal dialysis- we are currently trialling home dialysis machines which will give our patients more choice and flexibility
