How the proposed location would be used
The key benefits of the proposed approach for patients, staff and local communities.
The proposed approach is designed to address the safety risks at Frimley Park Hospital while improving how health and care services are delivered for patients, carers and staff, now and in the future. Key benefits include:
Safer, modern hospital buildings
Removing RAAC risk by replacing the existing main hospital with a modern acute facility built to national standards.
Better patient experience and safety
Modern layouts, single inpatient rooms and improved infection prevention and control, supporting privacy, dignity and safer care.
More reliable planned and specialist care
Reducing disruption and cancellations by delivering planned care in settings designed for it, away from emergency pressures.
Services designed for modern healthcare
Buildings and infrastructure that support new ways of working, better use of digital technology and more efficient use of space.
Greater flexibility for the future
Capacity and layouts that can adapt as population needs, clinical practice and technology change over time.
Improved access and reduced disruption
A new site that avoids prolonged construction on a live hospital, reducing risk, disruption and long‑term congestion.
Better value for public investment
A more deliverable, lower‑risk approach that avoids the cost, delay and complexity of rebuilding on a tightly constrained site; and aligns with the national Hospital 2.0 approach to hospital design, which sets standards for modern, flexible and digitally enabled hospitals.
