The fuss-free moniker was the runaway winner after Peterborough people were called on to use their creative talents and coin a new name for the super hospital.

And the mental health unit will also have a whole new identity – it will be known as the New Gloucester Unit.

When bosses at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust and Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trusts announced they would be holding a contest to christen the two buildings – part of the £335 million Greater Peterborough Health Investment Plan (GPHIP) – it sparked a flood of responses.

But after sifting through the suggestions, they decided simplicity was best.

The winners were Barbara Mann, from Barnack, Stuart Phillips, from Langtoft, and Richard Hall, from Peterborough, and they will all be guests at the opening ceremonies of the buildings.

Chief executive of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust Karen Bell, said: "We had some very innovative and unusual suggestions for the name of the new unit.

"I would like to thank service users and carers who shared their ideas with us."

Interim chairman of the Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Jonathan Radway said: "I would like to thank everyone who took part in the competition. We had some really good entries and it wasn't easy to decide a winner." Continues on next page

Your comments: Do you think the new name for the hospital is boring?
Deborah Leahy (51), of Kent Road, Peterborough:
"No, it's got to be more imaginative. It's not in the city centre, so it will confuse people. It's supposed to be innovative, so should be named after an artist."

Bonnie Devereaux (22), of Naseby Close, Westwood, Peterborough:
"It will be confusing. It's too similar to Peterborough District Hospital. I think Edith Cavell is better."

Emma Saunders (19), of Essendyke, Bretton, Peterborough:
"For a modern hospital, it's a bit of a boring name."
