Transforming our hospitals so that we are fit for the future
We have ambitious plans for the long-term benefit of our patients. We are redeveloping Whipps Cross Hospital and creating a life sciences centre in Whitechapel.
During the next decade we are also developing a network of specialist centres of surgical excellence so that patients get the best possible treatment.
