Kind words from our patients and their families

rooms and the landscaping. Then we must complete a full business case (FBC), which is the final design of the building and all the intricate details, including fixtures and fittings and design details. This needs to be complete by December 2021. Finally comes the exciting bit – we start to build our amazing new hospital. We know it is important to our people and patients to move in as quickly as possible, so we plan to have this completed by December 2025. However, it won’t all be plain sailing. There will be many challenges to overcome, we will have to be agile and flexible in our thinking. We will need to work across disciplines and organisations to develop new integrated models of care, developing solutions that overcome the challenges we all face every day.

Your chance to shape our future

We can’t do it without you. There has been an outstanding response to the first call to clinicians, nurses and operational staff to get involved in the development of the future model of care. This model of care will provide the details needed to ensure that we provide the first pandemic proof hospital, commissioned post-COVID-19. However, as we all know, it is not just clinicians that make a hospital work - it takes many, many more including domestics, porters, catering, maintenance, training and education and library teams to name but a few. We want you all on this journey, so please take any opportunity to get involved.

Design brief

Work has also started on the exciting plans to develop the design brief for the new hospital. Your ideas and suggestions along with those from our patients and people who have visited the hospital will be vital in ensuring that the architects have the details they need to produce an outline design of the proposed facilities.

Updates

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to build one of the best hospitals in the country. We have all fought hard to gain this opportunity so now it’s time to get involved - be part of our future.
