Transforming our A&E
Our A&E department is undergoing major improvements, as part of more than £21 million being invested across Whipps Cross Hospital this year.
Last week, Calvin Bailey, MP for Leyton and Wanstead, joined Whipps Cross Hospital chief executive, Dr Amanjit Jhund, and redevelopment director, Alastair Finney, to see these transformations in action.
The visit showcased how we’ve eliminated corridor care in A&E and are creating a safer, faster service.
Consultant paediatrician Dr Kausikh Nandi also stopped by to discuss how new facilities will better support children and families.
As part of these investments, people can expect:
- Shorter waits and faster care
- Modern treatment spaces (no more temporary areas)
- An Urgent Treatment Centre at the main entrance
- A dedicated Paediatric Clinical Decision Unit (opening Autumn 2025)
These improvements in A&E are part of wider investments being made into our services, including:
- Upgrades to maternity and postnatal wards
- Creating more single patient rooms on our wards for better privacy
- Providing better ventilation and air conditioning on six wards
We’re proud to be building safer, faster emergency care for our community – including our most vulnerable patients.
