Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) to join our Oxford Cambridge Growth Corridor forum
Future Cities Forum is delighted that Phil Eagles, Strategic Estates Lead, Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) will be joining our Oxford Cambridge Growth Corridor discussion event at Milton Keynes City Council, hosted by the Leader, Cllr Pete Marland.
Following the review of the New Hospital Programme (NHP) by Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting, it has recently been announced that the new Women’s and Children’s Hospital at Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) will be delivered.
It is expected that construction will take place between 2025 and 2030.
The new hospital building will significantly increase clinical capacity and meet the future healthcare needs of the growing city.
Joe Harrison CBE, CEO at MKUH, said: “We are thrilled to receive confirmation that, as part of the Government’s New Hospital Programme, a new Women’s and Children’s Hospital will be delivered as planned for the people of Milton Keynes.
“This addition to our hospital estate is a key strand of our future strategy which has been built around the needs of this fast-growing city. MKUH is now in a position to re-imagine how it sees and treats patients, and to deliver improved patient experience across the board. We are excited to move forward with our plans and would like to thank everyone in Milton Keynes for their ideas and support over recent years.”
The NHP-funded work at MKUH will also enable the introduction of new technology that will create ‘smarter’ hospital facilities.
To date, NHP enabling work has resulted in a number of site improvements getting underway at MKUH including the construction of a new Imaging Centre and an additional multi-storey car park.
