Further information about The Captain Sir Tom Moore Building.

Welcome to The Captain Sir Tom Moore Building (formerly known as the Cheshire and Merseyside Treatment Centre)

The Captain Sir Tom Moore Building - is our home for orthopaedic surgery and treatment services on the Halton General Hospital campus.

We provide surgery ranging from hand and foot operations through to hip replacement operations at the centre - as well as sports injuries (sports medicine) and other bone and joint care.The centre is located just across from the main Nightingale Building.

The centre was purpose built for orthopaedic surgery and was originally opened in 2006 as a home for a private health provider who was contracted to the NHS until 2011. We were delighted to be able to re-open the centre for local patients in 2013 and move our orthopaedic services to their new home. It is a popular choice for surgery with excellent patient feedback.
