Kier, a UK-based construction company, was the construction partner on the £10m redevelopment project, under the direction of NHS Property Services.

According to NHS Property Services, the redevelopment has provided the local community with improved access to healthcare facilities including a new diagnostics suite with X-ray and ultrasound services.

Chair of the hospital’s League of Friends, John Carr, was also presented with a plaque at the ceremony.

A new imaging suite is being named after him following his many years of supporting the hospital. 

In addition, the project involved collaboration with NHS providers using the building, including:

  • The local Primary Care Network
  • Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust
  • University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

After working collaboratively with our NHS partners to deliver this fantastic project, we are genuinely thrilled to be able to celebrate with them just over one year on from the official opening of the new Hythe and Dibden War Memorial Hospital

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board and GBP consultants were also involved in the project. 

Head of Relationship Management (South), Susan Swaffer, said: “After working collaboratively with our NHS partners to deliver this fantastic project, we are genuinely thrilled to be able to celebrate with them just over one year on from the official opening of the new Hythe and Dibden War Memorial Hospital, and to share the case study which shares in more detail how the project was delivered.”

Programme Manager for Healthcare and Estates Transformation at NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Janine Pickering, added: “It is lovely to hear such great feedback from both the patients and staff working at the hospital and we hope this continues as we move forward.”
