On the first floor will be out-patients and women’s services, Musculoskeletal (MSK) therapies and cardiology services.
Work which has already taken place on site as part of the investment includes major infrastructure improvements, a flagship Cancer Treatment Centre due to open in the summer, a Children’s Development Centre, also due to open in the summer and a Kidney Treatment Centre, due to open in early 2017. In addition, Meadowview, our Intermediate Care ward opened to patients in December 2014 and Holbrook, our specialist dementia ward was redeveloped and opened in March 2016.
