The project, which will cost approximately £58m, will eventually welcome a two further paediatric resus bays for children, faster access to radiology teams for scans and tests, an accredited changing places facility and dedicated rest areas for staff – and a lot of progress is being on site.

The new emergency department is expected to officially open its doors next winter after two years of construction work and the new health department will give nursing teams better visibility across the site to enable faster decision making.
