The Hospital of St Cross has 110 beds and six operating theatres, including one mobile theatre. We have an excellent reputation for elective surgery and rehabilitation services. The hospital has the Rugby Urgent Care Centre on site, and also boasts a newly-refurbished Blood Taking Unit.
It also has a £1 million purpose-built Haematology and Oncology centre – The Maple Unit – that opened in 2021.
The unit, which has five outpatient consultation rooms and nine day case treatment chairs, was developed with support from some generous donations from local charities.
The Hospital of St Cross was rated 'Good' following the most recent Care Quality Commission inspection in 2015.

Car parking charges are detailed in the table below.
All tariffs include the first 30 minutes free. All charges apply 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Blue badge holders attending hospital as a patient or visitor should present their blue badge and registration details to our security officers (based at Day Surgery entrance) to register their vehicle as being able to park for free.
Alternatively, you can send your vehicle registration and a photo/scan of your blue badge (please ensure the name and expiry date are clearly visible) to visitor.parking@uk.issworld.com.
This registration will remain in place for the duration of the badge’s licencing period. Blue badges belong to the person and are not registered to a vehicle so, if a blue badge holder attends hospital in a different vehicle, they would need to register that vehicle by following the processes outlined above.
Frequent outpatient attenders (those who attend hospital for an appointment at least three times within a month and for an overall period of at least three months) are also provided with free parking. If you think this is you, click here for details.
If you are on a low income you may be eligible for free hospital car parking. Subsidised parking remains in place for Oncology (cancer) patients attending for outpatient intravenous chemotherapy/radiotherapy treatment; renal dialysis patients; parents who stay in hospital overnight to accompany their sick children and those collecting paperwork relating to a bereavement, click here for details.
