North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH) is at the heart of an exciting transformation programme to improve health and wellbeing for local people in the years ahead. The new hospital will be a place where the people of North Manchester, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Salford and beyond have the best possible opportunities to be cared for, work and learn.
Our Vision
NMGH has served our community for over 150 years. Our new hospital will equip us with modern buildings fit for the future of healthcare.
Together with patients, people and communities, we’ll create brand new facilities that improve health for generations to come.
This is Our Hospital, Our Future.
- Up to £1.5 billion investment as part of the NHS New Hospital Programme
- State-of-the art facilities and 100% single inpatient rooms
- The latest digital technology to improve care
- Accessible buildings that make it simpler to get to appointments
- Cleaner, greener buildings for environmental sustainability
North Manchester experiences some of the highest deprivation in England, resulting in poorer health outcomes for people in our community. Our current hospital building needs updating to meet modern standards, and to support our dedicated teams in delivering the most effective care.
Once-in-a-generation investment
In the first wave of the government’s New Hospital Programme, the redevelopment brings up to £1.5 billion of investment to our region, allowing us to replace outdated buildings with state-of-the-art facilities and modern care environments. Current plans include a main hospital building and a new Outpatient Centre.
The new hospital project will also improve opportunities for local people by creating jobs and contributing to the wider regeneration of the area. Alongside the new hospital, we will progress the wider masterplan including the residential development known as the ‘Healthy Neighbourhood’.
Community first
The new hospital will support wider regeneration alongside the co-location of other health-related and community facilities, new homes and high-quality public spaces.
Care closer to home
The new hospital will complement different ways of providing care at home and in the community, with a greater focus on helping people to live well and stay well.
A greener future
The new hospital buildings will be environmentally sustainable and designed to meet net zero targets, considering patient, staff and visitors from the outset.
Making the best of technology
The new hospital will be one of the most digitally advanced in the country when it opens. It will support smarter ways of working, save time and reduce duplication and delays.
Partnerships
A project as big as this needs a collaborative, co-ordinated approach as part of the national New Hospital Programme (NHP). We are partnering with local authorities, our construction partner Bovis, suppliers, wider NHS partners and community groups. All are key to the success of the new hospital, and we will be working closely with our partners at all stages of the development journey.

Our Hospital, Our Future: Digital brochure
Our digital brochure provides an overview of plans for the redevelopment of North Manchester General Hospital, including the vision for the new hospital, key milestones, benefits for patients and staff, and answers to frequently asked questions.
What’s next?
We will work with Bovis to further develop the design, planning and enabling work that has already been started to deliver the project as part of the national New Hospital Programme.
We will start building the Outpatient Centre in 2027 before construction begins on the main hospital.
We will continue to work closely with our all our partners – including local authorities, wider NHS partners, and patient and community groups – to deliver the new hospital.
