Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital was granted Foundation Trust status in December 2006. Now called Basingstoke and North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust (BNHFT), it has previously been known as The North Hampshire Hospital, and Basingstoke District Hospital.

BNHFT is a 450 bed National Health Service (NHS) Hospital in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England and employs around 2,800 staff. Each year it has around 47,000 admissions, sees 43,000 patients in the Emergency Department, sees around 175,000 outpatients and delivers over 2,800 babies.

In 1999 it became the first hospital in Europe to perform surgery using equipment operated by voice commands[2].

In 2002 a new Education Centre, The Ark Centre, was opened on the hospital campus, run by the North Hampshire Medical Education Trust, a registered charity. This works in partnership with the hospital to provide many postgraduate education functions as well as running as an independent conference centre. Other partners in The Ark are the Pelican Cancer Foundation, a charity dedicated to the cure of pelvic & liver cancer by the use of precision surgical techniques, and Southampton University's nurse training facility. The Ark specialises in high tech conferences, including medical & surgical meetings, providing first rate IT and interactive live case presentation facilities. The Charity also sponsors a large range of community activities, within the Ark itself, sponsoring a range of educational and selfhelp meetings.

The hospital has been used as a set for both series of the Channel 4 comedy series Green Wing[3].

An elephant-shaped fountain by sculptress Sioban Coppinger, made to form part of a children’s play area, stands in Hunters Courtyard in the grounds of the hospital[4].

The hospital has its own hospital radio station called Hospital Radio Basingstoke on 945 kHz AM and on channel 6 on the bedside PatientLine units.

After construction completion in 2009, two new retail units were added. These include a branch of WHSmith as well as a branch of Costa Coffee within the front plaza.
