Redevelopment of the hospital
Our biggest requirement for funds is to support the major redevelopment of two-thirds of the hospital’s site.
With the first phase of the redevelopment complete, we have now launched a capital appeal to raise £170m to complete the second part of the hospital’s redevelopment.
This is a seven-year project and will include the construction of a brand new clinical building and allow us to refurbish one of our existing buildings and bring it up to world-class standards.
We anticipate a 20 per cent increase in demand for our services - an estimated 20,000 more patient visits each year. The redevelopment will allow us to cater for this increase.
Why do we need to redevelop?
Great Ormond Street Hospital is battling with buildings that are nearing the end of their useful lives and must urgently be replaced.
Without this redevelopment, advances in technology and treatments will not be so readily translated into real improvements in the care of sick children.
Victoria Ward room
New facilities will allow us to redesign how we work, to give a better, more flexible, convenient and comfortable service for our patients and their families.
We will be able to treat more children and give our researchers and clinical staff the resources they need to develop new treatments.
We desperately need to upgrade our oldest facilities to provide the world-class standard of care we seek to deliver.
You could help us to fund:
- A light, airy play room where children can relax away from their beds
- A single bedroom room with a bed for parents to stay by their child
- A four bed high dependency ward with the latest technology
- A modern treatment room where children can be seen away from their beds
- A state of the art Cardiac theatre
