New hospital care model for Hampshire

Stride Treglown has received planning permission for the new Hampshire Critical Treatment Hospital and Cancer Treatment Centre.

The new centre will be sited close to Junction 7 of the M3 and has been designed in co-authorship with HASSEL.

Once constructed services will be centralised, with critically ill and ‘at risk’ patients located on one site, thus improving care and providing specialist teams around-the-clock.

Daniel Van Luttmer, Divisional Director for Stride Treglown and Lead Designer on the scheme commented: “We are delighted that planning has been approved, having led the design team for such an innovative hospital that can deliver rapid emergency care to those who need it most, in a location that promotes the positive health benefits of nature, aiding their recovery further.”

Mary Edwards, Chief Executive of Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We are very pleased to receive planning approval to build a critical treatment hospital and cancer treatment centre which will enable us to improve the services we offer to the local community. This decision provides further evidence that our proposal to build on the site near junction 7 of the M3 is viable ahead of any public consultation. This is an important next step. Our proposal to centralise services for the sickest and most at risk in a critical treatment hospital will mean we have a sustainable and affordable way to provide even better services for our sickest patients, as well as allowing us to developing services in our local hospitals in Andover, Basingstoke and Winchester to meet the needs of our expanding population.”
