New Hospital Programme
The New Hospital Programme is the biggest hospital building programme in a generation. It is a dramatic shift in the way we deliver major healthcare projects in England, building hospitals that will transform the health sector and set new standards for the way we build future social infrastructure. We will create world-class health facilities through innovation and collaboration, empowering clinical professionals to deliver the best possible care for patients. We are replacing outdated infrastructure with modern, innovative, and environmentally sustainable buildings to provide top-class healthcare services and facilities for patients, staff and local communities. Digital technology will change the way healthcare is delivered in these facilities. Smart technology will reduce basic and repetitive tasks and free up time for patient care. Our mission is to help NHS Trusts to provide high-quality, sustainable care for patients, deliver intelligent hospitals, develop national capability, and build better, build faster and build a sustainable legacy. Rather than treating each project as a standalone scheme, we will capture opportunities to standardise design and leverage scale to maximise effectiveness and efficiency. The New Hospital Programme is transformational and will set new standards for the commissioning of future social infrastructure.
