Improving our hospital spaces

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals are proud of the capital investments that have enhanced patient care through the development of new facilities.

Completed projects include the addition of modular theatre wards and inpatient wards, as well as a new Central Delivery Suite and Triage area within the Women’s and Children’s Hospital at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. At Montagu Hospital, construction has been completed on a new centre to house the Mexborough Elective Orthopaedic Centre of Excellence, alongside the redevelopment of existing clinical spaces and the new Imaging Suite at Montagu Community Diagnostic Centre.

At Bassetlaw Hospital, a brand new state-of-the-art complex is now home to the Emergency Department, Children’s Assessment Unit, and Acute Medical Unit, having opened to patients early in 2025.

At Montagu Hospital, a new gymnasium suite is being constructed that will complement the Stroke Rehabilitation service.

Redevelopment at Doncaster Royal Infirmary includes works to expand and improve the Department of Critical Care for vulnerable patients.

The development of the complex at Bassetlaw was completed in late 2024.

Projects delivered

The Trust is committed to renewing its estate where possible, as part of this there has been a range of developments over recent years.

At Doncaster, additional ward areas and theatres were constructed adjacent to the Women’s and Children’s Hospital at DRI, offering modular built modern surgical facilities to complement the existing theatre suites within DRI.

At Bassetlaw, patient experience was improved through the refurbishment of theatre amenities and ward waiting areas within the medical unit. In addition to this, the medical imaging department at Bassetlaw Hospital will soon be renovated to accommodate an additional CT scanner suite, inclusive of clinical rooms and other areas to support service delivery.
