ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
Despite these significant challenges, the dedication and resourcefulness of everyone involved have helped turn a complex vision into reality. This pioneering iMRI facility is now on track to transform brain surgery for children, and deliver better outcomes for families across the region.
A ‘symbol of hope’ The iMRI project is more than just a medical advancement – it is a symbol of hope for families facing some of the most difficult moments of their lives. It demonstrates how innovation, collaboration, and determination can overcome even the most complex challenges to deliver life-changing outcomes for patients. As the project nears completion, the sense of pride among those involved is palpable. In the summer of this year, Birmingham Children’s Hospital will have a facility that is not only pioneering in its technology, but also transformative in the way it changes lives. With the introduction of iMRI technology, children and
their families will be given the best possible chance for a brighter, healthier future. This project stands as a testament to the hospital’s mission to providing outstanding care, and will ensure that families across the region have access to the very best medical advancements available.
n Creating a welcoming and sustainable hospital entrance
For many families, the hospital’s main entrance is the first point of contact on what can often be a daunting journey. Unfortunately, the current entrance at our Children’s Hospital doesn’t reflect the world-class care that takes place beyond it. Nor does it provide an environment which helps to ease the fear and anxiety felt by many of our patients and their families. That’s why we are
completing a transformative charity-led project to redesign our main entrance – creating a welcoming, calming, and inspiring space that meets the unique needs of our community. Every year, over 100,000 patients and their families
walk through our hospital’s front doors. Each of these visitors will benefit from the positive impact of the new entrance, which has been carefully designed with input from patients, families, and staff, to ensure that it truly meets their needs. The new entrance will be more than just a doorway into the hospital; it will be a space that sets the tone for the world-class care and experience they’ll receive inside, helping to reduce anxiety and make every visit as calm and stress-free as possible. One of the key goals of the project is to create a space
that helps ease the fears of young patients. Hospital visits can be overwhelming for children, but by designing a
