Plans have been submitted for a significant redevelopment of the main entrance at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust’s Royal Bolton Hospital, with proposals focused on creating a more accessible, welcoming and patient-centred arrival experience.
The proposed entrance redevelopment is designed to create a more accessible, welcoming and patient-centred arrival experience for patients, visitors and staff.
If approved, the scheme will deliver a redesigned entrance environment featuring an enlarged reception area, improved wayfinding, enhanced accessibility measures, and expanded food and beverage facilities.
The Trust said the development is intended to reduce anxiety for visitors arriving at hospital while improving navigation and comfort across the site.
iFM Bolton is managing the construction and development of the redesigned hospital entrance and is also building the new Integrated Transfer of Care Hub located in N Block at Royal Bolton Hospital.
Construction of the redesigned hospital entrance is expected to begin in summer 2026 and be completed by spring 2027, with temporary access and drop-off arrangements planned throughout the works programme to maintain hospital operations.
If approved, the hospital entrance redevelopment will be fully funded and delivered through an external partnership model, meaning there will be no direct impact on the Trust’s capital budget.
Construction continues on Integrated Transfer of Care Hub
