Why we need to change

Limitations of the current hospital

The existing hospital:

• Was designed for a different model of care
• Has an outdated layout
• Makes it harder to deliver efficient, modern services

Patients and staff often need to move long distances around the site, which can affect experience and efficiency.

Growing demand for services

The local population is:

• Increasing
• Ageing
• Living with more long-term conditions

This is placing greater demand on:

• Emergency services
• Planned care
• Diagnostic services

Changing expectations

People increasingly expect:

• Care closer to where they live
• Faster access to services
• Modern, high-quality environments
• Digital options where appropriate

The current facilities at Frimley Park cannot fully support these expectations.

Supporting staff

Modern healthcare environments are essential for:

• Improving staff experience
• Supporting recruitment and retention
• Enabling more efficient care delivery
