The improvements are the initial phase of the Trust's broader vision for a Maternity and Women's Emergency Care Centre. This initiative seeks to consolidate care within a modern, inviting setting, prioritising the experiences of women, babies, and their families.
The project has been made possible by a generous £500,000 donation from the late philanthropist Lord Swraj Paul, given in honour of his late wife, Lady Aruna.
Construction is anticipated to be completed by the end of April 2027. During this period, there may be instances of noise and temporary alterations to access routes.
The Trust extends its gratitude to patients and visitors for their patience throughout the construction phase. These enhancements are expected to significantly improve the welcome and overall experience of maternity services for women and families.
