It will also deliver enhanced social infrastructure as well as improved health and social care outcomes.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>diversified campus<\/strong> offering complementary research and development facilities, commercial uses that support the work of MFT, leisure and training facilities, plus key worker housing and step-down care facilities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>World class research facilities<\/strong> to support the work of clinicians and academics in keeping MFT at the forefront of innovative developments in healthcare.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A safe, efficient and stimulating work environment<\/strong> that ensures MFT continues to attract the best people to work at Wythenshawe Hospital Campus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Partnerships to encourage local economic growth <\/strong>with Roundthorn Industrial Estate, Timperley Wedge, Manchester Airport and Airport City.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To help us turn these ambitions into reality, MFT is working in partnership with Bruntwood, Manchester City Council and Manchester Health and Care Commissioning.\u00a0 We have prepared a draft Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) as a basis for consultation with local residents, patients, staff and businesses.\u00a0 This involvement is crucial as we continue to evolve our plans for the future development and growth of the new Wythenshawe Hospital Campus.\u00a0 By listening to your views and feedback, together we can shape an exciting future for the Wythenshawe community.<\/p>\n<p>We will add more information to this website as the project develops and you can contact us at:<\/p>\n<p>Freepost Plus RRBR-AXBU-XTZT<br \/>\nMFT NHS Trust<br \/>\nOxford Road<br \/>\nManchester M13 9WL<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:futurewyth@mft.nhs.uk\">futurewyth@mft.nhs.uk<\/a>\u00a0or telephone 0161 276 1234[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602859196962{background-color: #e8edee !important;}&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why do we need to redevelop the hospital site?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]The majority of Wythenshawe Hospital was originally built in the 1960s, with various additions from the 1990s onwards.\u00a0 This means the buildings are not laid out and connected in a clear and planned way.<\/p>\n<p>There are multiple entrances to the hospital site and, combined with poor wayfinding, this makes it difficult for patients and visitors to get to their destination easily.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst Wythenshawe Hospital provides world-class health care, the way the site has developed since its original construction creates challenges for the people who work here and use the hospital\u2019s services.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]These include walking long distances through buildings and between facilities, having some isolated areas on the edge of the campus and the heart of the hospital not being a welcoming environment. In some buildings, space is not used very efficiently, some facilities are duplicated and related services are not always located next to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Using the space and buildings more effectively and efficiently would deliver a much better experience for patients, visitors and staff.\u00a0 It would create opportunities to grow the local economy and improve medical and scientific research, through increasing the range of uses at the site to include research and development space next to these hospital uses.
