Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust has submitted plans for a landmark new building at the Wycombe Hospital site.
The proposed six-storey building is designed to provide a modern, welcoming space for patients and staff alike, and ultimately result in moving core services out of the current Wycombe Tower Block which is unfit for long-term use.
Construction is planned to start in early 2026 and, by Spring 2027, the Trust says it intends to have patients and staff using the new Endoscopy Department.
The development will enable the Trust to ‘create a state-of-the-art environment for vital services including cardiology, stroke, theatres and critical care in future phases of the project’.
Raghuv Bhasin, incoming CEO at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust said: “We are thrilled to be able to announce these plans. The Wycombe Hospital site has been in dire need of redevelopment. This will enable us to move critical services out of the tower block and into a purpose-built environment to provide Buckinghamshire residents with best in-class facilities.”
The Trust is working in close partnership with the Council to ensure that the new development meets the needs of people in Buckinghamshire.
It will also be holding an in-person public engagement session on 14 October 6-8pm in the Marlow Room, Wycombe Hospital Education Centre. All are welcome to attend. The project team will be on hand to answer questions and discuss plans with the local community.
