The New Hospitals
Development
The Trust has nearly completed its six year construction
agreement to deliver state-of-the-art healthcare and
research facilities on the Oxford Road site.
Specifically, the benefits include:
■ For children’s services, all hospital based treatment to be
provided from one site in conjunction with new service
models to enable children to be cared for as close to their
home as their condition allows.
■ The bringing together of children’s and neonatal services
on one site.
■ Replacement of outdated facilities, for adults, women’s
and ophthalmic specialist care currently dispersed across
the site, with facilities designed to enable the provision
of medical, therapy and nursing care in an appropriate
manner and environment for the twenty first century.
■ Dedicated facilities for elective (planned) surgery for both
adults and children protecting both the elective and
emergency capacity.
■ Patients and visitors will have the benefits of a reordered
site with facilities designed for the patient.
■ Access to a wide range of state-of-the-art clinical
and support services on a single site so that patients
with multiple problems do not have to travel between
different hospitals.
■ Expertise concentrated on a single site means more
professionals available to ensure high standards of safety
throughout the 24 hours.
■ The strong research and teaching base in the new
development means that patients will benefit from
modern and proven treatments and they will be cared for
by staff who are trained to understand the wider needs
of patients.
■ In addition to the core development, there are a number
of stand-alone buildings for clinical sciences (pathology
services), rehabilitation and education.
