Welcome to your new Hospital at Southmead, Bristol
Healthcare in Bristol and the surrounding areas is changing. At the heart of these changes will be a brand-new, state-of-the-art hospital at the current North Bristol NHS Trust Southmead site.
North Bristol NHS Trust is working with Carillion on the £430million project, which will offer patients the very best state-of-the-art hospital facilities when the doors open in 2014.
One of the major benefits for patients will be the end of traditional wards, which will be replaced by single rooms with en-suite facilities and single-sex four-bed wards.
The 800-bed hospital will have more single rooms than any other NHS hospital in the country, greatly improving privacy and dignity and helping to control the spread of infections. Read more ...
