In 2005, a million pound project by base structures was completed, a specially designed walkway which joins one part of the hospital to the other.
The hospital boasts a large concourse, which is situated at the main entrance. It contains a reception and many retail shops for use by visitors, staff and patients. It also contains many specialist services for use by patients and their families.
A new £16 million birthing centre was opened at the hospital in August 2009, featuring three birthing pools.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
