News: Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust purchases the former Lombard Bank site
As part of its ambitious eight-year redevelopment programme, The Rotherham NHS Trust has purchased the former Lombard Bank Site.
This new facility, which is sited around 200 metres from Rotherham Hospital on Moorgate Road, will become the base for a number of non-clinical staff who currently work at the main hospital site and help pave the way for a range of new developments and refurbishments at the hospital.
The first stage of the Trust's programme to refurbish and upgrade Rotherham Hospital will see a new patient and carer reception, information and resource centre within a new main front entrance to the Hospital, a programme of ward refurbishment, and a range of other improvements as the hospital looks to become a showcase for best-practice in patient safety and efficiency in healthcare design.
Among the improvements that can now be set in motion thanks to the purchase of the former Lombard Bank site are the development of a new Mental Health facility and the refurbishment of the Oakwood Hall building.
Brian James, Chief Executive of The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust said: "The former Lombard Bank site will be a great asset to the hospital. Its location so close to the main hospital and with potential for housing a number of our key non-clinical staff as well as providing additional car parking spaces make it the ideal facility for us.
"The purchase of the site additionally means we can move forwards more quickly with elements of our redevelopment programme that will bring substantial improvements in the quality and safety of our services and facilities for patients using Rotherham Hospital."
