The new Department of Critical Care, scheduled for completion in early 2027, will provide a state-of-the-art facility designed to meet the needs of our most vulnerable patients—both now and for future generations.
The department will feature advanced technologies, including modern ventilators and continuous monitoring systems, and will be staffed by highly skilled critical care specialists. It will provide expert treatment for patients who have experienced major trauma, severe illnesses such as sepsis or pneumonia, or who require close observation following complex surgery.
Located near the South Block entrance, the new facility will comprise a modern, high-specification 22-bed unit, purpose-built to care for the hospital’s most critically unwell patients.
Progress on the development was marked by a groundbreaking ceremony in August 2025, following the start of enabling works earlier in the year.
In addition, the Trust is working in partnership with colleagues in Palliative Care, VINCI Building, and DBTH Charity to create a dedicated garden space. This area will offer a calm and peaceful environment for patients nearing the end of life and their loved ones, complementing the wider redevelopment project.
