The opening of the Stanmore building at RNOH in 2018

Rob Hurd, Chief Executive of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, explains the plans for a major redevelopment of the RNOH. The building will include:

Children and Young People’s Ward of 27 beds with embedded therapy and education functions and an external play area to replace the current paediatric wards;
Adult Acute Wards to include 64 beds over two floors, with embedded therapies to replace three of the current outdated adult wards – Duke of Gloucester, Ward 4 and Margaret Harte Ward;
A welcoming main entrance that will provide reception and waiting space plus a retail outlet and coffee shop.
A children’s activity centre will be created within the foyer which will be fitted out with a range of toys, games and interactive technological equipment funded by the RNOH Charity.

Construction will begin on site in August 2016, starting with the demolition of the Patient Centre. The five-storey £42.8 Million Inpatient ward building is set to be completed and open for services in summer 2018.
