Follow our progress

North Manchester experiences some of the highest levels of deprivation in England, with significant health inequalities and poorer health outcomes. Alongside this, the current hospital is ageing and increasingly difficult to repair and maintain.

As well as creating new hospital buildings fit for modern healthcare, we are transforming the way care is delivered, supported by stronger connections between hospital, community and neighbourhood services. This will help more people receive care closer to home, or in their own homes where appropriate.

The new hospital will also bring wider benefits to the community through jobs, apprenticeships, training and new skills opportunities linked to the construction programme, supporting efforts to reduce health inequalities and improve opportunities for local people. Together, these changes will help transform health and life outcomes across North Manchester while creating an exceptional place to work, learn and innovate.

Construction plans will seek to minimise disruption and allow the current hospital and all services to continue to run safely.  There will be a carefully planned transfer of clinical services into the new facilities.

The new hospital is for our patients, our people and our community and we want to ensure everyone has the opportunity to get involved. We are shaping the plans with clinical and wider staff and will be sharing details of how patients and public can get involved via this website.

We have a diverse range of partners, including local authorities, our construction partner Bovis, suppliers, wider NHS partners and community groups. Our partners are key to the success of the new hospital, and we will be working closely with them at all stages of the development journey.
