Exciting news for all at @LancasterUni and especially for our colleagues working in health humanities and hospital design (@BenBGDalton, @DrCABaker!)
Our own Vice-Chancellor Professor Andy Schofield also welcomed news that a new hospital is planned for a site in Bailrigg East, close to our Lancaster campus.
"We welcome the announcement that land near Lancaster University’s campus is the ‘preferred site’ for Lancaster’s new hospital," he said.
"This is a unique opportunity for our medical school, health and business experts to work alongside the hospital and to expand our work in partnership with the Trust, NHS and companies to deliver better patient outcomes and to improve healthcare in our region.
"Although there is some way to go, I’d also like to acknowledge the work and dedication of the Lancashire and South Cumbria New Hospitals programme, the Trusts and the advocacy of Cat Smith MP to advance healthcare in our region."
