Plans to create new surgical facilities at Hinchingbrooke Hospital have reached a significant milestone following national approval of an Outline Business Case to construct a new, purpose-built operating theatres block on the site.

This means the Trust that runs Hinchingbrooke can now develop the Full Business Case, and, subject to planning permission from the local authority, commence construction on site this year.

The theatres block construction forms Phase 2 of the redevelopment plans for Hinchingbrooke. Phase 1, the urgent care improvement works, has been completed. Phase 3 will see the replacement of the old hospital building to fully modernise Hinchingbrooke.
