New hospitals

We are replacing many of our ageing buildings with state-of-the-art healthcare facilities to rival the best in Europe.  The opening of the new hospitals will transform the experience of patients, staff and visitors, with outstanding new facilities and an exceptional environment for the delivery of patient care.

Moves into the new Royal London hospital began on 6 December 2011. On 1 March 2012 Europe’s newest hospital opened with 110 wards and departments (and more than 3,000 staff members) relocated into the new building.

We have already opened one of Europe’s most advanced cancer centres at Barts in March 2010. The second phase at Barts will be a cardiac centre of excellence, due for completion in 2014.
