Major projects

As we develop first class services, we are both constructing new, purpose built facilities to house them and improving our existing local environment.

Redevelopment of the Bristol Royal Infirmary Old Building

 The BRI redevelopment project aims to provide a new state of the art clinical building on the Terrell Street site, providing inpatient services from the BRI Old Building. This development is planned to be completed in 2014 at which point the BRI Old Building will be decommissioned.

The new clinical building on Terrell Street will enable the closure of all inpatient wards in the BRI Old Building and will provide a new intensive care unit and a new acute assessment unit in support of the emergency department.

The new assessment unit will speed up the flow of patients through the hospital and improve patient care by bringing together all assessment, diagnostic and treatment services for short stay acute patients. The new intensive care unit will replace the existing intensive care unit and will place all the surgical specialities on one floor, creating a more efficient service for patients.

During this time, work will be undertaken to improve the main entrance of the BRI, shortening the walking distances to the main lifts and reception areas, as well as providing a new cafe and shop within the main entrance.

Centralisation of Specialist Paediatrics Project

The Centralisation of Specialist Paediatrics Project completes the final phase of the transfer of all children's services in Bristol to the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. This forms part of the overall Bristol Health Services Plan and meets a number of recommendations for the delivery of childrens services.

Currently children are treated for burns or brain injuries at the Barbara Russell Unit at Frenchay Hospital. Frenchay Hospital will no longer provide these treatments by 2014 and we are working towards a plan that will ensure these services are transferred to the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children by that date. To do this, the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children will be extended and modified to provide additional operating theatres, diagnostic facilities, intensive care beds as well as inpatient beds and outpatient facilities.
