Building a new Chase Farm Hospital
AUGUST 2015
We have now finished moving a number of services to new locations on the hospital site to make room for construction of the new hospital building.

More information about the services that have moved, including a map, can be found at www.royalfree.nhs.uk/chasefarm. Alternatively, if you have an appointment and are unsure about where to go, please ring the number on your appointment letter.

Moving the services now means we can continue to deliver high-quality care without interruption during the building works.
The services moved include the urgent care centre, which provides a walk-in service for minor illnesses and injuries. This is now located in the urgent care, women’s and children’s centre opposite the Hunters Way entrance to the site.
Other service which have moved include:
• the older persons’ assessment unit (now in Highlands)
• the blood test clinic (now in the Clocktower building)
• women’s and children’s services (now in the urgent care, women’s and children’s centre)
• sleep and lung function clinics (now in the Highlands wing)
• rheumatology (now in the rheumatology, urology and pain centre)
We have aimed to communicate these moves as widely as possible, including through posters and leaflets sent to GPs and schools, adverts in the local press and messages on social media.

Sale of surplus land begins
Sale of first parcel of land The window for bids to be submitted to purchase the first parcel of surplus land has now closed and we hope to conclude the sale this autumn. We will then be in a position to confirm the developer for the land.
The other parcels of land intended for residential use will be sold once the new hospital is complete in 2018. Until then the land will continue to be used for existing services.
All funds raised from the sale of land will be reinvested in the new hospital.

Planned use of existing Highlands wing for rehab wards
ProjectNEWS
In March 2015 an outline planning application went before the planning committee to agree the broad parameters of the scheme. The trust’s appointed contractor, Integrated Health Projects (IHP), was then tasked with developing the detailed designs which are the subject of the reserved matters application that is due to be submitted.
During the process we identified some alterations to the original scheme which will help us deliver an improved environment for patients and staff and also result in better value for taxpayers’ money.
Changes include the retention of Highlands wing for use as rehabilitation wards and a reorientation of the new building which will allow for more future flexibility.
As a result of the above changes we are also submitting an application to make minor amendments to the outline proposals that went before the council early this year. We hope that these applications will be considered and approved together at the planning committee meeting in November.
The trust is set to submit two further planning applications to Enfield Council to confirm the details of the scheme and reflect minor changes to the original proposals.
New planning applications to be submitted
