This is a hugely exciting project. Nuffield Health at St. Bartholomew’s will be our
thirty-second hospital and the first independent hospital to open in this part of the City.
We have taken two very old dilapidated buildings on a site that’s been connected to medicine
for the last nine hundred years and we’ll be transforming them into some quite special
The building itself is a really complex piece of engineering, it’s been amazing to see
the building site go from demolition now to the building phase as our hospital is growing
into the London skyline.
To breathe life into these buildings again in an area that’s steeped full of history
is a superb opportunity.
The Barts Health Trust is world-renowned, and our partnership will build on this reputation,
to deliver quality care for our patients.
I am expecting that we will create the ability to reach more people, be truly accessible
in terms of healthcare that’s high quality and really dedicated to outcomes.
The key part is how this will complement the other services we already offer. Nuffield
Health operates over one hundred services currently inside London,
At the moment, we’ve got clinics, we’ve got fitness and wellbeing centres in the centre
of London but if somebody needs to go into hospital, then they have to go somewhere else
and this means we can look after our patients for their whole experience.
The hospital will feature four state-of-the-art theatres, it will be our flagship centre for
cardiac service, with industry-leading intervention, and specialist rehabilitation.
We will provide full diagnostic and physiotherapy facilities, alongside twenty-eight consultation
rooms. We will specialise in orthopaedic, general surgery, urology and gynaecology services.
It will have forty-eight beds, a dedicated critical care unit and an oncology suite.
We will be recruiting the best nurses and clinicians to care for our patients,
they’re on the front line of great care and they will just be tremendous.
I’m looking for people who are clinically current, clinically expert but above all,
really passionate about the care we give. I want them to feel Nuffield Health not just
in their heads, but in their hearts.
You can expect the very latest equipment, state of the art healthcare, but it’s more
than that - you will be part of the wider Nuffield family.
We have a tremendous infrastructure for training, development and on career management
The culture at Nuffield Health Bart’s is going to be awesome - we will have the best
of Bart’s and 60 years of our heritage and we’ll be putting the two together.
Our new hospital will deliver a new level of healthcare, a new level of patient experience,
a new level of innovation, which can only be described as excellent.
I hope to achieve something quite unique - you’ve got 60 years of a charity with lots of expertise
and resource, you’ve got values that are aligned - we care about patients, we care
about health outcomes, so does St Bartholomew's and we’ve also got a really unique urban
location and a diverse community.
Building a new hospital in London gives us a huge opportunity to look after a lot more
people and you have got all of that experience alongside you in our other hospitals and our
clinics, so you’re part of something really quite big and I think very special.
It’s really exciting that we will have a presence in London, to be able to offer our
connected health vision of end-to-end services from preventative to cure.
Ultimately, this is the next step in helping more people live healthier and happier lives.
