We are working hard to transform our site to ensure our facilities are outstanding for both visitors and colleagues.

The first step will be the construction of our new energy centre which will make a significant contribution towards the hospital’s ambition to achieve net carbon zero status by 2040.

These works, which begin in May 2024, are taking place at the bottom of the hospital site and we will need to dig up parts of Car Park D to move essential utility pipes. As a result, we will move some visitor and staff parking spaces to other car parks.

Please join us at the Treatment Centre this Saturday for our Breast Care Unit Open Day between 2pm - 6pm.
