Future Plans
The Trust has plans to improve and transform the hospital. These include the current development of the new Cardiology Extension, as well as the replacement of part of the World War II Old Building with a state-of-the-art Surgical Centre within the next few years. The new Beacon Cancer Centre opened in May 2009, ending the need for patients to travel to the Bristol Oncology Centre for radiotherapy treatment. A new helipad is being built directly outside the A&E department reducing aircraft transfer times. Construction work, which began on the helipad in February 2010, was completed in May 2010. Construction work on the new £38 million surgical centre began in August 2010.
