Our new hospital will be a hospital for the future.
Led by our clinicians and an outstanding team of architects, the design of the New Princess Alexandra Hospital will be a far cry from a traditional acute hospital.
Instead, it will be a campus of vitality and wellbeing. A beacon of health for the whole community, set in a therapeutic landscape. It will lead the way for other hospital buildings to follow. An exemplar of modern architecture that will deliver the best setting for our people to deliver the best care for you.
In short, a hospital like no other.
A place doesn’t need to look clinical to be an effective clinical environment. Patients who feel comfortable physically and emotionally will recover quicker. It’s not just about how a place looks, but how it makes us feel.

We often think of the NHS as a national sickness service and to turn that around, there’s got to be a leap of the imagination towards a place of enablement, a place where unusual, fantastic and amazing things are possible.
